I really did not like this one. I read the entire book in the two days I was in bed due to a flu, my brain was kinda muddled and the book didn't entertain me much.
I'm a huge fan of Kitchen, and Asleep felt like the watered-down version of it (even though it came out a year later, if I'm not mistaken).
I hated how the stories revolved around women's attachment to disinterested men. And the sadness was explicitly expressed too many times, it didn't feel melancholic anymore.
