Vanishing Acts is a pretty good book, if you've read My Sister's Keeper it's a lot like that. It's written by the same author, Jodi Picoult, and it's written the same way. Each chapter is from a different characters perspective on what the main conflict is. This book is about a girl who's father takes her from her mother because she is an alcoholic and twenty-four years later he is arrested for kidnapping her. It requires the reader to ask ethical questions about the situation and whether or not it was right for him to kidnap her. At the same time all of this is going on you hear the stories of each person that are having problems of their own. Vanishing Acts is a little bit more intense and lengthier so I wouldn't really suggest it for a quick read.
