While this was not the My Sister's Keeper I was expecting when I first began to read it, I still found it totally engrossing. The pop culture/haute couture references made the characters truly seem real--as if The Louise Towers Institute were a real place where I could rub elbows with the famous and more fortunate. The book is very long and it actually took me some time to realize how much I was enjoying it, but I was truly satisfied by the end, with the exception of the fact that I no longer had anything left to read...
