No, its not Jodi Picoult. The front cover has a yellow childs dress on it, kind of floating.

Yes,i enjoyed it. I read loads of books that it would take ages for me to remember but this one had stuck in my head so it must be good.

I didn't like it but don't let that stop you. People either love or hate this book, there's no middle ground and you'll never know which way you fall till you read it
Personally I felt manipulated (not in a nice way) and I thought the writing was clunky.
