This was a fascinating read which made me think about the relevance of dreaming. Joe dreams through the vision of a woman that he’s never met but she resembles someone from his past. Are messages being transported between 2 people that are destined to make a connection? I got a little tripped up with Joe’s dreams vs. his reality but still enjoyed the premise of this book.

Joe Riley has a successful, by-design life in the world of finance. He loves order, discipline, the tangible, the measurable. In pursuit of success he's spurned attachment, keeping romantic entanglements "on an island" while leaving his life and heart invulnerable. When he begins to dream of a woman half a world away he's never encountered, his notions of practicality and planning are called into question.

In a search that variously brings him to the psychologist's office, a medium's table, and from the Rocky Mountains to the streets of London, England, Joe begins to fall for the woman of his dreams. In the process, he's beset by innumerable questions: Is he going mad? Might she actually exist? If so, why does he see through her eyes? Why is he party to visions that are either the greatest privacy invasion of all time, or a possible cosmic match in the making?

In the quest for answers, Joe confronts the deeper questions that assail most of us who dare open our hearts: Will I be enough? Will they love me when it stops being easy? Will they stay? Will they sweep me up, just to watch me fall?
Wow what a book. I am still sat thinking about this book even though I finished it a few days ago.

A man lives his life through the eyes of a woman? Pretty interesting if you ask me. And the book didn’t disappoint at all. I really did enjoy this for what it was. Literary fiction is usually difficult for me to get through if it isn’t written well but this was perfect. And of course, what more could I ask for knowing it was mixed with romance? I really did enjoy this so so much and I appreciate it a lot. Cannot wait to see what else this author has in store for me! 5 out of 5 stars.
