My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Full Disclosure: I received an Advance Reader's Copy of The Last Dream by Pedro Almodovar from HarperVia via NetGalley.
The Last Dream by Pedro Almodovar is a collection of short stories, mostly fiction although some are/might be autobiographical. If you enjoy his films, you should enjoy this collection as they explore similar themes and reflect his style. My favorite story was the titular, The Last Dream. I won't spoil it by telling you what it is about, but it was so moving. It made me think of my own experience. I shed some tears. But not every story tugs at the heart strings. Some are fun or dark or fantastical. It is an interesting read because you never know what to expect from the next story. Of course, you don't need to read them in order. You could read them however you want. But definitely read The Last Dream. And maybe have a tissue handy just in case!
