Handle With Care.




Dramatic, Intense, and Intriguing.


In Handle With Care by Jodi Picoult the story revolves around a little 5 year old girl, named Willow. Willow has Osteogenesis imperfecta, which is a bone breaking disease that she was born with. Willow goes through her life breaking many bones, even during the simplest task like sneezing. During the book her mother, Charolette realizes that her family can not financially go through life anymore due to Willows hospital bills and her special equipment she needs. She decides to take things in her own hands and sues her physician for a wrongful birth lawsuit. The twist is, her physician happens to be her best friend. While this is going on, Charolette and her husband Sean are so involved with Willow that they don't realize that there oldest daughter, Amelia is going through problems her self. Every one's life gets turned upside down and nothing will ever be the same.
This book will take you through many emotions while you get to see many of the characters perspectives of the situation. Some disagree and think Charolette is a terrible mother, and other give her their full support. If you like reading books about law suits, court and family problems, then this is the book for you. Personally, I love Jodi Picoult books and this was my second favorite of the 5 I have read. I enjoyed this book because it shows you how far some families will go for eachother.
9/10
