The Book of Two Ways by Jodi Picoult
2.0

Jodi Picoult is one of my favorite authors. She usually writes intricate stories that delve between multiple stories, sometimes various timelines, and the stories always weave together beautifully. Sadly, not this time. It was told from one perspective and while the timeline jumped back and forth it did so from three points - 15 years ago and then back and forth from present day and a few months prior. It was confusing - especially when the months prior and current day met up. Plus some of what was said from months ago contradicted what was happening in present. However, the research and detail about Egypt and Egyptian history was amazing. I was in Egypt 2+ years ago and it brought me back there, crawling through one of the great pyramids. Want to love love love this. But can’t.
