From Goodreads. What if the reality you thought you knew was nothing but a fantasy?
Jennifer Levenworth has a great, big, pounding headache. It could be because her husband, a judge, is indicted on bribery charges, leaving her unsure about everything in her marriage. Or it could be caused by the media, who are relentlessly covering the story. Or because the friends Jennifer thought she knew and trusted have turned their backs on her in her greatest hour of need.
And then the dreams begin…
And while Jennifer sleeps, she swears she can see—and hear -- her friends' and family’s most private moments. Soon Jennifer realizes she is actually learning the truth about their lives, leading her to also question everything she thought she knew about herself. But when the dreams start to reveal a startling reality, can Jennifer find the strength to ultimately transform her life?
Review
THE TRANSFORMATION OF THINGS, by Jillian Cantor, is a interesting story that explores the idea that things are not always as they seem. The relationships that Jennifer has with her husband, family, and friends are tested as she discovers their secrets through her dreams.
I did enjoy this book as a whole but I have to say it wasn't my favorite. It was an interesting concept but I found myself getting bored in the middle. I did not connect with Jennifer the way I wanted to. For example, the relationship between her and Will was strange in that she always wanted to be closer to him but when given the opportunity nothing happened.
I did like the dream sequences where the point of view of the characters changed and I was able to get a closer look into the inner lives of Jennifer's husband, friends, and family. The last 1/4 of the book was actually pretty great and it definitely made the book "worth it" for me. The unexpected twist was very creative and really brought together what Jennifer was dreaming about.
Overall, I did like this book and I would recommend reading it for those who are looking for a good contemporary fiction with a little mystery sprinkled in.
