I have read five books written by her:
  • My sister's keeper
  • Nineteen minutes
  • Picture perfect
  • Change of Heart
  • The Pact
I think the best book written by her is 'My Sister's Keeper'. I felt that the other books were not that well connected. The plot made you very curious but in the end i wasn't satisfied with most of the justifications, they felt incomplete. All the books that i have read of hers had an unexpected ending but they were like i said unjustified. At times i felt that she dragged the story a lot, there was a lot of hype about nothing. This was majorly with Nineteen Minutes and The Pact. Change of Heart, even though i found it a bit boring in the beginning was really good. Nonetheless, her books do keep you hooked and are different 😊.

AGH! She's one of my favourite authors!
I've read:
  • My Sister's Keeper
  • Perfect Match (my FAVOURITE)
  • Nineteen Minutes
  • The Pact
  • Plain Truth
  • Vanishing Acts
  • The Tenth Circle
  • Change of Heart
  • Handle With Care

So basically, I've read most of them. 🤣

I LOVE the way she writes and all her stories hit home. I havent read anything by her in the longest time... I think I'll head to the library soon.

There's just one thing about her writing that I don't like very much... I feel that she's becoming too formulaic in her writing... anyone else feel that way?

I agree with you. At times I feel that some things are very dragged and that she tries to put in too much suspense even when its not needed. I was not satisfied with the ending of Nineteen Minutes but loved My Sister's Keeper though.

^^ Well that too, but by formulaic, I meant that she tends to have at least one courtroom scene in each book and several other similar aspects... as if she's following a formula when she writes a book... that said, I do think her writing style is amazing :)
