State of Wonder by Ann Patchett
2.0
I wanted to like this book more than I actually did. I found the story long and drawn out. The characters are extraordinarily unrelatable and much of the back story felt forced. I enjoyed the overarching story- woman from Minnesota goes to the jungle to find out about the death of a friend and colleague. And I finished the novel mostly to find out the conclusion to this. But I found the ending to be the most disappointing. She gives up the child, sleeps with her married coworker, and then just goes home? I definitely wanted more.

One of my all time favorite books. This book is beautifully written and will make you want to run off and chase your dreams.
