Happy Sunday! Two things to share on this beautiful (but SCORCHING) Summer Sunday:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Please excuse the transition as I switch to this new preset for my bookstagram!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. I officially finished Jodi Picoult's The Book of Two Ways.

Time for some real talk. Jodi Picoult has been my absolute FAVORITE author for the past 17 years. No one is able to tell a story the way JP can. She often writes about controversial topics, and narratives that will break your heart into a tiny million pieces. There's beauty in every heartache that is a Jodi Picoult novel. So needless to say, I didn't even have to read the jacket cover to find out what The Book of Two Ways was about. If it's written by JP, it's an automatic "add to cart" for me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But guys. This was different. I'm sad to admit that I struggled through this book. I felt it was very text book heavy..
Quick synopsis ⭐️⭐️
Dawn is an Egyptologist turned death doula who is faced with her own mortality when she walks away unscathed from a plane crash. Her story takes place over four timelines: fifteen years ago in Egypt, fifteen years ago in Boston, current day Boston, current day Egypt (we think? It's never really clear). To gain a full understanding over the general theme of this book, Picoult HAS to give us a lesson in Egyptian history. But I wasn't here for it. No disrespect to the Egyptian culture, it was just tough to get through those chapters because I honestly felt like I was an attendee in a history lecture.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even though it was a difficult read in spots, Jodi did what Jodi does best; she weaves every dang sentence of the book into the central theme: in this case, it happens to be the paths we choose in life. When faced with a decision, how even the tiniest of choices can have the biggest impact on our future.

It’s like @hangingwithtuck is saying, “Really, mom? Reading again? Let’s PLAY!” Spent the morning getting sunburned at baseball so this couch + book time is definitely deserved 😉 What’s on your weekend to-do list?

Picked this one up a few days ago and can't put it down. I LOVE pretending I'm a modern-day Nancy Drew and I always try to guess the twist before it happens. I gotta be honest.. I have NO clue how this one is going to turn out! No spoilers, please, but I do want to know: have you read this one?!
