Jamie: did I get this right? Did Jamie go kill himself after he was acquitted? That was lame. I mean, I understand you falling for someone else, but bringing her into your house, your bed that you share with your wife?!Īllie: how could she have forgiven Cam?! I was rooting for her when she sold all his stuff, and I thought 'finally she's getting it!'. I wish they had met before because they would've made the perfect couple. Mercy (A Novel): Picoult, Jodi: 9780743422444: : Books. I mean, these characters made the most ridiculous decisions!Ĭam & Mia: talk about two insecure, selfish people. Mercy Jodi Picoult When his own cousin, Jamie, confesses to the mercy-killing of his terminally-ill wife, Cameron MacDonald, Wheelock, Massachusetts' chief of police, is forced to make the toughest arrest of his life.

I would have preferred that Allie leave with Jamie, but that would destroy the whole concept of the loyalty of the clan! I guess to me relating it to real life it made me question how far I would go for a loved one and think about unconditional love versus suffocating love. My least favorite character was Cam-I think the notes proved he was still selfish and if 'found' would still hurt those involved.

I also found the personal strength Allie gained as she confronted the crisis and shifted the balance in her relationship with Cam was interesting and also Jamie's admiration of her as she shifted the balance. The relationship between Cam and Mia seemed pretty obvious from the beginning, but the reason it occurred (the 70-30 of a relationship) I found compelling. I really thought the ending was predictable, however, I did like some of the questions it posed.
