The Library of Heartbeats
by Laura Imai Messina
The concept for this book was fantastic, but unfortunately, the execution was poor. This was not helped by the narrator, who was not good at all; their voice was so monotonous that I barely registered anything about the story and just wasn’t invested.
I do have the proof so will try to read it instead, as I think it will be a great story.
That said, the library of heartbeats didn’t materialise until about 75% of the way through so the synopsis is slightly misleading. It might be the translation, but it also felt a bit overwritten at times, although generally the prose is beautiful.
