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

I really struggled to get into this one, but by the end I was fully invested in the outcome.

The first 50ish pages felt like I was was being given an uninvited education in Egyptology, and throughout the book there were sprinklings of this too. But I have always loved the way Jodi Picoult writes and her concepts, so I stuck with it and I'm glad that I did.
Definitely not my favourite of her books, but definitely worth a read if you are a fan of her work (or of Egyptology!).

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.
