House Rules by Jodi Picoult

Guilty Pleasure

Told in true Picoult fashion, alternating chapters by each of the main characters and extensive research into the subject matter - Asperger's syndrome.

I was drawn to the entire Hunt family and while the ending was a little disappointing I still thoroughly enjoyed this story and the depiction of the criminal justice system.

It's not my favorite Picoult novel, but a good one, as always.

Quotes:  "When someone dies, it feels like the hole in your gum when a tooth falls out.  You can chew, you can eat, you have plenty of other teeth, but your tongue keeps going back to that empty place, where all the nerves are still a little raw."

"Rest easy, real mothers.  The very fact that you worry about being a good mom means that you already are one."
