finished reading My sisters keeper yesterday evening.
so emotional
*cried*
my sister sit across me in the living room doesnt even know -.-
she was apparently playing cake mania on her phone lol
the story super touching
Jodi Picoult is such a wonderful author.
i didnt expect it to be so nice,
then since yunjin lent me the book i decided to read it out of boredom,
and got addicted :D
the story is about Anna, who has a leukemia sister-Kate,
fighting for the rights of her own body cuz her parents gave birth to her to be Kate's donor (blood, bone marrow, kidney etc.)
her parents and everyone else surprised by her move,
but actually she started the lawsuit under Kate's influence-
Kate was tired of living in her sorry state alr, so she tries killing herself, but she cant do it, so she asks Anna to do it for her - not to donate Anna's kidney.
in the end Anna won the lawsuit but she suffered severe brain damage due to the car accident immediately after the judge's saying ):
so doctor asks: would you like to consider organ donation?
so she ended up donating her kidney to Kate afterall.
(which makes the lawsuit meaningless logically)
so Anna dies, kate lives.
not quite the planned plan ):
i reread the ending again this morning and cried nvm.
