YMMV / Jodi Picoult

• Narm: Pops up from time to time in her novels, including this gem of a line from A Spark of Light:
  "What do you think you are, some kind of hero?"
  Hugh: "No." *DRAMATIC PAUSE" "I'm a father."
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: Considering how her books tend to follow the exact same plot with the Jerkass selfish mother, the court cases, and the Sudden Downer Ending that make everything the main character worked for be for nothing, it's hard to follow any of Picoult's books or care at all about its characters.
