Sing You Home

Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Here is what I think.  I should NEVER read another Jodi Picoult book again in my life!  But it is my love of her first books that keep luring me back; hoping that she has changed her formula just a little bit.  I happened to "read" this one as an audiobook, and she has taken up songwriting on top of her regular writing.  Oh MY GAWD ... the singing was like listening to fingernails on a blackboard.  Same melody, different words with a woman singing who didn't actually have a fabulous voice.  Painful.  At least if you read it you can just scan the lyrics and not have to endure the music.  The story itself was not that engaging either.  For one thing, it was hard to imagine a straight woman going through years of infertility that ended up with a stillbirth and shortly after that her husband leaving her, only to fall completely in love with a woman, despite never having even the slightest thought of being a lesbian, and then whammo, marrying that woman after five months.  Just silliness.
