I loved this book. I know some people didn't like the detail of the Egyptology I thought it added authenticity and flavor. If you have a book club read and discuss. If not find a friend to read and discuss it.

I normally love a Jodi Picoult book, but this was terrible. I like that she heavily researched several topics and weaves them into a great storyline, yet this was too many topics and boring ones as well. I HATED the main character. Every choice she made and every reaction she had to things made her so very unlikable. Really disappointed this time.
Again I say, what a shit roller coaster I never asked to be on. This book was so difficult to get through. Too much detail that wasn’t important for the main plot. The format was confusing albeit slightly clever. The synopsis was a damn lie. The only redeeming part of this whole ass novel was the last chapter (except for the perfect gleaming bow tied on top of everything, it was just the only chapter that didn’t bore me to tears). Tricky Jodi putting the only interesting stuff at the end to leave me with a lasting good feeling. Didn’t work, hated this book. Wouldn’t have finished if I wasn’t reading for my book club. You’re so much better than this Jodi.
More excellent story telling from Jodi Picoult. Two plots weaving back and forth across the globe between Boston and Egypt. Dealing with death is a heavy topic, but it's done well here. Interesting characters. This book did not disappoint.
The first Jodi Picoult book I couldn't finish. I found it dragged right from the start and I finally gave up 1/4 way through the book. Maybe I'll pick it up another time but for now shelving and saying finished.
I loved this and it was beautifully read. Would have liked to know the end solution
4⭐️ but could have been 4.5
I loved the concept of this book, but it was a little boring for me to be honest, although I was fully invested in the characters, that’s singlehandedly what kept me pushing to the end. Love Jodi but this one has to be my least fav by her

Reads like a textbook
Why not have a quiz at end?
You can skip this one

There's a lot going on here, and it's easy to get bogged down in the Egypt/science stuff, but I still liked it.
