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.

Picoult carefully deconstructs the breakdown of a teenager who has been bullied repeatedly over an extended period of time. I read this years ago when it first came out, so already knew the twist, but it remained no less worth the listen.

Harrowing but important

I am a big fan of Jodi Picoult’s books, they are so well written and captivating, this was no exception. The details and the character perspectives really makes you feel like you know the characters and creates a lot of empathy for them

A gripping story.

Loved it but only four stars as it, IMO, failed to tackle the problem of how easy it was for a boy to get guns. Perhaps if they were not so easy to get hold of....

My first Picoult book.

Realistically makes you think how our world is steadily changing! As always with this author there is always a small but well thought out twist at the end. Gripping read. My only negatives is the chapters are VERY long

Gripping story!
