Publisher Description
Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of My Sister’s Keeper and Small Great Things, pens her most riveting book yet with a startling and poignant story about the devastating aftermath of a small town tragedy.
Sterling is an ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens—until the day its complacency is shattered by a school shooting. Josie Cormier, the daughter of the judge sitting on the case, should be the state’s best witness, but she can’t remember what happened before her very own eyes—or can she? As the trial progresses, fault lines between the high school and the adult community begin to show, destroying the closest of friendships and families.
Nineteen Minutes asks what it means to be different in our society, who has the right to judge someone else, and whether anyone is ever really who they seem to be.
Customer Reviews
Twist undermines the message
The twist at the end undermines the message and makes no sense for the character. Otherwise very compelling. The audiobook narrator does a good job.
Trigger Warning: Suicide
Trigger Warning: This book has a suicide. I wish I had known that before I downloaded it. Fortunately, the first few minutes of the book make it clear.
I did not listen beyond the opening.
