royal_tea 's review for:

The Book of Two Ways by Jodi Picoult
emotional reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: Complicated

I have mixed feelings about this book, but I did find myself flying through it and feeling a lot of emotions with the characters.

I’ve seen a lot of reviewers stating that they struggled with an excess of information on Egyptology and Quantum Physics. I didn’t find this to be the case, except for a few detailed passages on Egyptology which, I admit, were difficult to fully understand as someone with no prior knowledge. 

I wish the story focused more on her regrets of not having pursued her studies and career in Egyptology and how she reconciles that, rather than heavily focusing on her romantic relationships. I also can’t say I could understand or empathise with some of her decisions but it was a good and reflective read nonetheless!
