Ugh this book. this was recommended by my best friend, and I trust her judgment when it comes to books, usually. this is actually the second Jodi Picoult book she's made me read, the first being My Sister's Keeper, which I loved. but Handle With Care was honestly so frustrating. the change of voice every chapter was jarring at first, and Charlotte annoyed the crap out of me. I did identify with Amelia though, since I struggled with some of the things she did when I was younger. it was beautifully written, of course, but once I was halfway through I just wanted it to be over.... and once it was, I was just pissed off. the ending was just AAAARRRGGHHH. Jodi Picoults endings have now made me swear to never read her books again. I just can't do it again.
