Jodi Picoult, bestselling author of My Sister's Keeper and Small Great Things, pens her most riveting book yet with a startling and poignant story about the devastating aftermath of a small-town tragedy.

Sterling is an ordinary New Hampshire town where nothing ever happens--until the day its complacency is shattered by a school shooting. Josie Cormier, the daughter of the judge sitting on the case, should be the state's best witness, but she can't remember what happened before her very own eyes--or can she? As the trial progresses, fault lines between the high school and the adult community begin to show--destroying the closest of friendships and families. Nineteen Minutes asks what it means to be different in our society, who has the right to judge someone else, and whether anyone is ever really who they seem to be.

It could have been slightly shorter but I listened as an audiobook and found myself wanting to return to hear the end

The author showed the perspectives of numerous characters on a chilling topic and kept me engaged

I’ve only recently discovered Jodi Picoult but I’ve quickly learned that it is difficult to listen to her stories and emerge unchanged. I always learn things from her stories as well and am amazed at the amount of research she typically puts into her books. This book is not an easy listen as it deals with challenging issues that aren’t easily addressed or resolved. At times I found it heartbreaking and I think that is part of the point. Her books make you dig deep and feel things that aren’t always comfortable. I appreciate how the author takes you inside the minds of many people as this world needs more empathy. Overall, this is a compelling novel and I recommend it.

Takes you inside the minds of many…

Jodi Picoult never disappoints to show us all the nuances of controversial subjects. Her characters are well rounded out and believable and the narrator Carol Monda did an excellent performance.

I wasn't sure that I wanted to listen to this story but my pull to Jodi's honest handling of sensitive issues drew me in.

It is as thought provoking as I expected and definitely worth the listen.

Perspective

As usual, Jodi explores difficult topics from several perspectives. Humanizing the players, uncovering their thoughts and motives, and keying in on the thing that drives them. It is not a question of whether or not one agrees with a perspective or not ... it is the invitation to see humans as flawed, as having strengths and issues, as having a little bit of good in the bad and a little bit of bad in the good. And this novel delivers on all of that.

19 minutes explores school shootings, from several different viewpoints- the victims, the shooter, the families, the community and the justice system.
The author is skilled at exposing the real truth when a family can love, but not protect, their children from the impact of bullying and harassment. High school is not the happy exciting experience for many teenagers. It may be more like a minefield to navigate. This story is raw, emotional and as always ~ explores the impacts of bullying from many perspectives.
