I have the same issue with this author. I enjoy the characters she creates and their individual voices. She comes up with intriguing plot lines and you get really pulled into the story. Like you said, there are holes in the plots. The endings, especially to "My Sister's Keeper" and "Handle with Care" annoyed me to no end. I felt like the author was trying manipulate my emotions rather than tell the logical conclusion to end the story. It felt like a "Gotcha" that was botched.
Nevertheless, I continue to read books by this writer because they do entertain and get me thinking.

All by Jodi Picoult. I had exactly the same reaction to these as I did to my first book by this author (My Sister's Keeper). I enjoyed it, but felt let down by endings that seem rushed, too pat/convenient and at times completely ludicrous and unbelievable. Also, plots with holes so large you could drive a Giant Monster Truck through them. Yet, despite these frustrations, I didn't feel my time had been wasted.
