I found this book really emotional, as the story goes on you feel more and more sympathy for all the characters because of the situation they are in, you feel so much sympathy for not just Kate but Anna too and all the other characters because of all the problems that the family are having, the situation they are in makes you realise how lucky you really are! This book has many different emotions making you feel a real connection with the characters. The storyline flows really well and everything fits together, the way the plot is said is really well done because it doesn't have all the horrible details just enough for the audience to feel sorry for the characters :)
The storyline: In My Sister's Keeper, Anna Fitzgerald was conceived and born so that she could provide genetically compatible body fluids and parts for her older sister, Kate, who suffers from leukemia. Whilst Kate is in the hospital having the treatment she needs she meets a boy that she ends up falling in love with, they become really close and after a few days he doesn't contact her, Kate starts to get upset because she thinks that he is ignoring her but really he has died because of his illness, Kate eventually finds out and is devastated! When Kate is 16 and Anna is 13, Kate needs a kidney transplant and Anna balks at giving up one of hers. She hires a lawyer to petition for medical emancipation from her parents, so that she alone can make decisions about her body. It's a decision that threatens to tear the family apart, from her mother who gave up a law practice to be a stay-at-home mom, an older brother who feels left out, and her father who wavers between choosing sides.
I recommend this book because its really interesting to read and even though the storyline is really sad you still want to keep on reading to see what happens!
I rate this book **** :)
