My Sister's Keeper. It was a great book and i would give it 5 stars if i had to rate it. It was the second book i had read and i just enjoyed reading. Considering i do not like to read, and don't really have the most time to. I found all the time i could to read that book. i kept it in my car and brought it everywhere with me. ( I know how much of a dork am I) i don't read ever but this, this was a good one. It is about a girl who was made to have exact genes and traits and everything like her sister. Obviously she looks different and has her own personality but all her organs,blood, and everything on the inside are the same.
Anna Fitzgerald is the sister that was made in a petry dish and Kate Fitzgerald is the one that has been diagnosed with leukemia. Anna is lively, and she knows that from the point of birth her parents have been taking different things out of her body to transplant them for Kate. And through all that, Anna is still a good person and cares so much for her sister. Kate even though she is sick still enjoys herself and always seems to be in high spirits.
But Anna wants to sue her parents for medical emancipation to the rights of her own body. Which means she will not be giving her kidneys to her sisters, because she wants to do things like play sports and have a normal childhood. So she says. Kate knows the real reason and that is why she is okay with it. No one hates her for what she is doing, her mother is just very angry with her.
Anna hires a judge who is the best one around. The catch about him is that he has epilepsy and has no control over his body and that is the ONLY reason he accepts Anna's request.
I do not want to ruin the ending for anyone because it is completely the different from the movie. It like throws you a curve ball out of NOWHERE. if you have watched the movie. it is nothing like that. But i definitely suggest you read the book.
