Summary

The acclaimed #1 New York Times bestselling author presents a spellbinding tale of a mother's tragic loss and one man's last chance at gaining salvation.Can we save ourselves, or do we rely on others to do it? Is what we believe always the truth? One moment June Nealon was happily looking forward to years full of laughter and adventure with her family, and the next, she was staring into a future that was as empty as her heart. Now her life is a waiting game. Waiting for time to heal her wounds, waiting for justice. In short, waiting for a miracle to happen. For Shay Bourne, life holds no more surprises. The world has given him nothing, and he has nothing to offer the world. In a heartbeat, though, something happens that changes everything for him. Now, he has one last chance for salvation, and it lies with June's eleven-year-old daughter, Claire. But between Shay and Claire stretches an ocean of bitter regrets, past crimes, and the rage of a mother who has lost her child. Would you give up your vengeance against someone you hate if it meant saving someone you love? Would you want your dreams to come true if it meant granting your enemy's dying wish? Once again, Jodi Picoult mesmerizes and enthralls readers with this story of redemption, justice, and love.

    I wasn't really feeling the narrators, but the story was definitely intriguing. It delves into an unusual topic that can be challenging to listen to at certain moments, but it's undeniably one-of-a-kind. And let me tell you, there are plenty of surprises along the way.

    I absolutely adore all of Jodi Picoult's books, but there are always a couple that truly resonate with me long after I've finished listening. "Change of Heart: A Novel" is definitely one of those books. It had me completely captivated from start to finish, and the narrators did a fantastic job bringing the story to life. I cannot recommend this one highly enough.

    I gotta say, I was really excited to read "Change of Heart: A Novel" by Jodi Picoult, especially since I loved her previous book, "Small Great Things." But, I have to admit, I'm starting to lose the spark with Picoult. Honestly, "A Change of Heart" left me feeling a bit disappointed. Like always, Picoult tackles some serious and controversial social issues in this book. She serves up a whole bunch of moral dilemmas that are thrown at you left and right. This time, it's all about capital punishment, organ donation, and the role of organized religion. She introduces a diverse group of characters who have wildly different perspectives on these topics. I felt she went a little too far with the religious aspect, though. And let's not forget about the predictable plot twist that happens way too late in the game. It just made me dislike the Mom character even more. The storyline felt clunky and way too far-fetched. The dialogue was unnatural, and the actions of the characters were just plain unbelievable at times. My other gripe is that the first quarter of the book felt like a blatant ripoff of Stephen King's "The Green Mile" and a dash of John Grisham's "The Chamber." Both of those books are heavy-handed critiques of the death penalty, and it was almost like Picoult borrowed a bit too much from them. One of the characters even references "The Green Mile" by giving the protagonist a nickname from the book.

    The author's latest book, "Change of Heart: A Novel," fell short of my expectations, especially considering I have read many of her previous works. However, it was not the storyline alone that let me down, but rather the portrayal of Maggie's character in the narration that truly dampened the overall performance. It felt overdone and failed to convince me. If you're in search of a Jodi Picoult novel, I suggest continuing your quest for a more satisfying read.

    The utilization of multiple voices for narration in this gripping tale truly enhances the distinct chapters and diverse viewpoints as depicted by the author. It greatly simplifies the task of discerning who is expressing their thoughts or speaking. Regarding the story itself, I found immense pleasure in delving into the numerous ways that a change of heart unfolded for both the main and supporting characters. Each transformation carried its own significant impact. Jodi Picoult truly exhibits her mastery in storytelling.

    Once again, there's a captivating story that challenges all your beliefs. How far would you go to save someone? What is the basis of your faith and why do you trust in it? Where do you draw the line between comfort and true safety, or is it just a self-assurance? When is it acceptable to deceive? How much would you truly sacrifice to protect someone? These are just a few of the thought-provoking questions that continue to linger in my mind even after finishing this book. This novel goes beyond exploring matters of faith, life, and death; it tells a compelling story that expands your perspective. It immerses you in the intricacies of everyday life but through the unique viewpoints of a lawyer, priest, prisoner, and mother. Ms. Picoult thoroughly embraces the idea of walking a mile in another person's shoes, and she truly turns it on its head. Make sure to have a box of tissues nearby, as always, because there will be tears and moments of outrage, and somewhere along the way, you'll undoubtedly fall in love with these characters.

    I really liked the book, but I thought it focused a lot on religion. I'd estimate that about 60% of the content was about religious topics. It just wasn't what I was expecting or in the mood for at the moment.
