UGH!

I think I have read all of Picoult's books. Some I have liked more than others, but this one left me completely frustrated. I suppose I can understand a writer's desire to try something different. Others have mentioned that the "author's notes" shed some light on her choices here, but I haven't gotten to them because I just wanted to finish the blasted book! This could have been an excellent novel. I did like the twists regarding two characters at the end, but those would have been just as effective/affective had the story not been told in reverse chronological order. I am just mystified. What could have been a compelling narrative turned into a confusing one. If you know how most everything will turn out in the end, why spend you time with it?
