I read My Sister's Keeper a while ago and just finished The Pact this morning.

Has anyone read any of her other books? I'm trying to decide which one to go for next.

Oooh I just finished My Sister's Keeper a few days ago. I read The Tenth Circle last year - it's pretty good.

I've read:

-My sisters keeper
-The pact
-Plain truth
-Tenth circle
-Mercy
-Keeping faith
-Picture perfect
-Vanishing acts
-Salem falls

And they are in order, the top is obviously the best.

I like that you put Plain Truth 3rd after the two I've read. It seemed good when I read the synopsis. I've always thought Amish communities were interesting.

Looks like I've decided on the next one I'll read! Thanks.

I've read My Sister's Keeper and I just finished The Pact (yesterday in fact :p). I loved them both, but My Sister's Keeper is one of the best books ever :)

I don't know why but for some reason I see her books as trashy even though I love them. Probably because they're so aimed at women, IDK. I'm dumb sometimes.

I thought the ending of My Sister's Keeper RUINED it, srsly, worst ending ever. SO CONTRIVED and convenient and, ugh. Yeah.
My fav of hers is The Pact. Could have been My Sister's Keeper if not for the ending.

I'm the opposite, I thought the end of My Sister's Keeper was good :p

It was so unexpected, I thought she was either going to win her court case and not give her sister the kidney she'd die, or she'd win the court case and decide to give her sister the kidney anyway.

I finished it at like 3am in the morning and was bawling my eyes out, so bittersweet and tragic! :(

2 - plain truth
3 - mercy
4 - the pact
5 - my sisters keeper
6 - second glance
7 - perfect match
