melissadelongcox 's review for:
The Book of Two Ways
by Jodi Picoult
*Thanks to Ballantine Books + NetGalley for the ARC!*
Unfortunately, this was a DNF for me. This book is DENSE - other reviewers mentioned that it reminded them of a textbook, and that's spot on. I was excited for the Egyptology mentioned in the blurb, but in the book it was just way too much. Instead of being informative, it was as if the story was sprinkled in amidst the learning. And then, there was more happening with quantum physics and fat phobia and just - a lot. It was a lot. As a big fan of Jodi Picoult's earlier books, I'm bummed to not love this one, but it was just too much! I'm going to add this to my pile to pick up and try again post-corona.
