The Book of Two Ways by Jodi Picoult
4.0
challenging emotional reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

In true Jodi Picoult fashion, I spent the vast majority of this book feeling incredibly conflicted. My emotions boomeranged between which characters I felt sympathy for, and in the end, I hated all the characters except Meret, yet somehow loved the entire book. 

The chapters were very long, which I struggled with. However, I really enjoyed the conflicting worlds of quantum physics and death work running parallel to Egyptian history. 

Overall, I’m not sure how I feel about 90% of the book. But that is also the appeal of a Jodi Picoult reading experience.
