Asleep | Banana Yoshimoto, Michael Emmerich
Mehso-so

Loved the first two stories in this short collection, but didn't really care about the third story, which was the title story. I don't know, I'm not a fan of reading about infidelity, no matter the situation. It's also a bit triggering for me thanks to a past abusive relationship. The first two stories had spectacular use of subtle #magicalrealism qualities that I adored, however. Total rating 3.5/5

With 9.5 hours left, I'm going to start my 5th book. This small collection has 3 magical realism tales within it. It'll be my first time reading magical realism by Banana Yoshimoto! I have high hopes as I tend to really love her books!
