Second Glance by Jodi Picoult


Another of Jodi Picoult's signature style books that despite myself I really enjoy. A boy, Ethan, with XP (can't go out into the sun), his single librarian mum Shelby, troubled Ross who despite his best efforts cannot die, Meredith the single geneticist and her asthmatic and ghost seeing daughter Lucy are intertwined so neatly it keeps you guessing throughout how she will tie them all together by the end.
Craftily woven around paranormal sightings and different generations, the characters become lifelike and believable in their misgivings and struggle to make sense of extraordinary circumstances.
Well narrated on audio book and a pleasure to listen to, if not addictive.
4 Stars
