Don't waste your time on this book. The description is appealing but the book doesn’t live up to the hype. The story is boring and the author long winded with sentences taking up more than a page. Lack of punctuation makes the book almost impossible to read. You need to re-read passages several times to follow conversations since no quotation marks are used. The three characters spend their day making each other miserable. I can’t imagine why anyone would spend time with these people or want to read about them.

A really unique storytelling method, The Three of Us was unlike any other book I've read in recent memory. Told from the three different perspectives of the three characters, you slowly build the world through each of their individual lenses. I really enjoyed the varying details throughout each of their points of view, and found the characters to be extremely compelling, even if they were not altogether very likable. A very enjoyable read.

It was a quick read but I struggled with the format and telling where the dialogue started then stopped. I can see this being a story that many would enjoy, but it just wasn't for me.

Wow! This was such a unique and great book! I couldn’t put it down and finished it in one sitting! The characters were great. I found them to be very relatable. This book was well written and I look forward to reading more from Ore Agbaje-Williams! Make sure to add this to your tbr list!

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for this arc!

The Three of Us by Ore Agbaje-Williams was such a diverting story.

This is an engaging read, with characters I instantly got wrapped up in and didn't want to depart. I found myself excited to see what happens next with the characters throughout the story. I felt this was a deeply relatable novel.
They felt so real, and the dialogue so cutting, that it's difficult not to be wrapped up in them.
Ore's writing is well executed which had me turning the pages to my Kindle very quickly.

PENGUIN GROUP Putnam,
Thank you for your generosity and gifting a copy of this approved eARC!

Grateful to NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

The pages in this book sped by, and reading it was a delight. The dialogue, clever sentence construction, and pithy prose say a lot without the language ever feeling bogged down, and you understand a great deal about the relationships in small details, from the way the wife asks her best friend for cigarettes which she knows she won’t smoke if her husband is home to smell them on her to undermining one another’s takeout orders. The perspective changes in each of the book’s sections, shifting from the wife to her husband to her best friend (whom the husband despises as much as his wife loves). It’s not out yet and I’m already hungry for a sequel.

P.S. Thank you for my new mantra: “Kim, people are dying.”

This was such a unique read for me! I haven't read anything with this type of genre before but I really enjoyed it. In all honesty, I requested the book after the blurb and the wine on the cover. It was such a great story and I really enjoyed diving into this.
