Thank you to NetGalley, Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage and Anchor for allowing me to read this work prior to its publication date. Set dying COVID lockdown, “Dream Count” is centered around four women grappling with lost love, regrets, sexuality, abuse and identity. It reads like four short stories, but the narrative is woven together seamlessly. “Dream Count” focuses on the many identities women carry, and the expectations that accompany them.
