Mercy by Jodi Picoult
Guilty Pleasure
A love story, but in the hands of Jodi - not a typical love story. Though, this one was a bit more bawdy than Jodi usually is (not Fifty Shades of Grey, but maybe Five Shades?). Like most Jodi stories, you never want to say too much and give anything away. The characters are real and likable (or not so likable) and the emotions are complex. Enough said.
Quote #1: "You know it's never fifty-fifty in a marriage. It's always seventy-thirty, or sixty-forty. Someone falls in love first. Someone puts someone else up on a pedestal. Someone works very hard to keep things rolling smoothly; someone else sails along for the ride"
Quote #2: "She had read another statistic that said women use twice as many words in the course of a day as men do, and she wondered if this was because women were garrulous by nature or because it took twice as long to make men understand what was being said."
