This book had so many unexpected twists that it had me screaming into a pillow (in a good way!). I really loved that it explained the history behind all of the Egypt references as I would have been completely lost otherwise. I really enjoyed it

This book involved romance, however, it was more following a woman's journey through the acceptance of what her life turned out to be, when she wasn't planning to endure any of what she went through. She looks back on what she could have been if she stuck to her original plan. Accurately looks into the difficulties of marriage, even "good" ones.

Ok so this book was actually pretty good but for me the let down was Dawn as a character. She ended up being extremely unlikeable. Similarly with Wyatt, he was such a good character in the first half of the book but just degraded overtime.

5.0

Instead of her usual switching POVS, Picoult takes this book through two stories, two choices, from one POV. I never found this confusing.  Per the usual, there is a lot of content throughout that pertains to the characters jobs and interests- this time those are Egyptology and quantum physics. While this text could be expansive at times, I found it really interesting and, as always, wonderfully steeped in metaphor. 

Picoult’s Book of Two Ways will get you thinking about your life and your choices and leave you rooting for everyone. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since I finished it. Once again, Picoult’s newest book seems to top her last.
