The Third Love by Hiromi Kawakami
Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.
ARC review; thanks to NetGalley and Granta Publications for the access to this ebook.
I can appreciate what this book tried to do, but it just didn't work for me. I looooove the cover and was very intrigued about this, but it never grabbed or kept my attention. I didn't care at all about this character and I can't say I liked her. I didn't dislike her either, I just wasn't at all interested in her. I hated the dynamic of her marriage so much. When the lucid dreams started, I thought I would be more into it, but I just wasn't engaged. I did enjoy that she started to think more about her life as a result of the dreams, but, again, this didn't work for me at all. I was bored every time I picked it up and reading a couple of pages felt like reading 20. Not for me!
