At the End of the Matinee by Keiichirō Hirano

2.0

I felt super indifferent about this one. I loved the individual journeys that our two main characters went on, but when their stories threaded together, I could never find myself getting on board with it. I don't think it's bad to have infidelity woven into books, because it's a real thing that happens, but I just couldn't stand the way it showed up here. I think had this book been about two people stepping away from a relationship that wasn't working and following them as they focused on their dreams, that I would have liked it a lot more. Instead they keep going back to this relationship that's not working and it's FRUSTRATING.
