This was okay. I didn't get as involved in the characters as I usually do with Jodi Picoult's work. I felt like the real story starts where this one ends.

Diana O'Toole, a New Yorker and a Sotheby's art historian, is a type-A personality who ends up stranded on the Galapagos in the early days of the COVID pandemic. This is both a curse and a blessing for her as she gets to be stranded in paradise while her boyfriend is stuck working in the COVID section of a busy hospital in Manhattan. Since we all suffer the PTSD from the early days of the pandemic, having the story set in such an exotic location feels fresh and relaxing. At least for a little while...

This book has one of the most interesting twists I have ever read. However, I'm not sure that I quite liked it. Honestly, I feel I would have been fine without it, but since it is there I gotta say it added a new dimension to the novel. For me, the novel sank quite a bit after the twist and sorta stayed flat until the end.
The main relationship that everything revolves around is quite boring and superficial.

However, this book is well researched and insightful. It is true to the emotions we felt back in March 2020. Although a little bit cliche in the plot and characters, I give it 3.5.

With all the topics this book vaguely touches on (Egyptology, quantum physics, death, motherhood), this should have been a perfect book for me.

The info dump on all things Egypt didn't bother me at all. I took most of my electives at uni in that very field and loved those parts of the novel. But I have to be honest: they were written in such a dry, boring way that would turn away anyone who is not enthusiastic about the topic. There were some nice parts that described how Egyptians dealt with death and dying that really stood out for me. That was probably the highlight of the novel.

The bigger problem is that, for a book that could have been a lot more, it left me completely emotionally cold.
It also very strongly reinforced the cliche that women fall in love with bold, adventurous types who turn out to be the loves of their lives, while they marry calm, boring men who adore them.

For a death doula, the main character is quite uninspired and disappointing. I found her approach to death too clinical for someone in that role. I guess she is realistically imperfect, but not very likeable, with a twisted sense of morality.

I invested a lot of time and patience in this book, hoping that the development at the end will make up for the plane crash plot confusion, boring sections from around the halfway point and the lack of real character development, but from there until the end it was just getting worse.

Three pale stars from me (2.5).

I read maybe 1/3 of this book before I gave up. I don't care for the writing, the characters (the mom is a TOTAL bitch), anything about this book. I will say that I skipped through and read the last several pages to see what happened, to see if the book had the same ending as the movie (it doesn't.) I read this one in paperback, but I have another book by Jodi Picoult (Plain Truth) on my e-reader, and if it's anything like this one, I won't be reading it all the way through, either.
