Kimberly's Review
My Sister's Keeper does not disappoint. Told from the POV of a teenager, and several people close to her, it shows all sides of the life or death equation that is the plot. Should Anna Fitzgerald remain under the medical care of her parents where she may be forced to donate a kidney to save her sister, after already enduring 13 years of donations for which she was conceived?
My only mistake was starting this book at 10pm, because I read until 3am, unable to put it down until I knew how it would end.
Buy the book now!
You won't be disappointed!
