*The Book of Two Ways* will make you second-guess every decision you’ve ever made, leaving you wondering what life could have been like if you'd chosen differently. The novel explores this through Dawn, a protagonist whose internal struggle with the "what ifs" of her life is both relatable and frustrating. At times, her selfishness and indecision become a bit grating, but they also highlight the complexity of human nature. With its rich layers of Egyptian mythology and a deep dive into life, death, and choices, the book challenges readers to reflect on their own paths—and the roads not taken.
