this book covers the pain and strife that comes with loss, love, and what-could-have-been. I feel like I look at my partner and my life differently (with more joy!) because of this book's powerful prose and the questions it asked me. I recommend everyone at least try reading it!

I wanted to read this book because I loved, My Sister’s Keeper. I read Leaving Time and felt that book was average. I was disappointed to find The Book of Two Ways was average and not the tearjerking drama I loved with My Sister’s Keeper.

The useless history lesson on Egypt was boring for me and not what I expected.

I received this book from NetGalley.

Just too much science, I wanted the story of the characters not the whole history of Egypt and quantum mechanics. Too much in first 200 pages it’s overwhelming. I know nothing of the characters at 200 pages in but lots of pictures of Egypt and hieroglyphs. Got boring as no interest. Feel Jodi P is going down this path now with Honey Bee one have tons about bees but we did get a story. This is not fun if you have no interest in Egypt

I love Jodi Picoult! The beginning was a little tough for me to follow, the jumping between timelines and talk about death. But once I got to the point where the pieces began fitting together, I had like 12 aha moments and the ending was very sweet! I really enjoyed this book!
