My book club has chosen My Sister's Keeper for our July book selection. I have a somewhat strange question - we have our meetups at different restauants and I try to pick the restaurants based on locations or themes in the book. I haven't read this book yet - does anyone have any suggestions for the type of restuarant/food I chould choose.

Thanks!

If you have EVER read My Sister's Keeper, making the ending be a pizza party is like putting mayonaise with jelly--it's supposed to be PB&J. I don't see how you could ever get a pizza party out of that ending. This should be interesting.

Brand new here. Totally nervous about posting and all.

I really connected with this book (well, most of the ones I've read by JP, but more so with this one). I felt that the characters were portrayed really well.
My family is similar to the family in the book. I have a chronically ill sister (not cancer). And how JP described the other siblings is so similar to how I feel about my sister. Like Anna, I would do anything I could to help her.

And i think this topic was very contradicting,because she was stuck between
standing up for what belongs to her or to save your own blood.
very ironic and sad how Anna died in the end though.

By far the best picoult book

Okay, i realize this is really strange but it is true. In the fifth Harry Potter book the prophocy tells them that neither can live while the other survives. That also aplies to My Sister's Keeper. In the end you realize that Eaither Kate would die, or Anna died.

Anna was not going to give up her kidney, but when she died they gave it to kate.

However, i am a little confused about something-in the "conversation with JP" at the back of the book, JP is asked about the sad ending. She replies that she even made a "23rd hour to an oncology nurse to ask if there was some other way to end the book"...but there wasn't.

This seems to imply to me that Kate dies???? But she doesn't???

This is really bugging me.

Sadly, Sara really annoyed me, she went on and on about the past and about Kate, and i really started to dislike her.
When Brain picked up the phone i 100% new Anna was dead. But i first suspected it when Anna was asking Campell what he thought she'd be like when she grew up.
