The oddities and surrealism of today's book seem intriguing. Its parallelism to the real world piques the curiosity. Congratulations on Book of the Day!

Wow! This novel sounds so interesting. I love these kinds of surrealist storylines where you aren't entirely sure of what's going on or what's going to happen. I'll definitely be giving this one a read!

I find the plot of this story quite fascinating and Abi, the kind of female character I will be rooting for while reading the book. The fact that the author also use humor will make this an interesting book for me.

This book sounds fascinating. I find it intriguing although am not a fan of this genre. I hate nightmares 😂, but I must say your review is captivating. Thanks for your review.

Outstanding review! I really enjoyed the book. I agree, the writer describes scenes perfectly. I read it twice already. Thank you for not spoiling the end for others. I still laugh about the pig.

It sounds like a great dystopian story with a plot that keeps the reader guessing. The title and the cover give off a mysterious feel. I’d love to read more about the life Abi is living and everything happening in her world.

The concept and style of the book is unique and rare in its form. The originality that comes with the book will likely make the book even more appealing. Usually books of such genre are sometimes slept upon because of their absurdity. Tara Basi has done a great work on this one and I can't wait to read the whole book
Your review was apt and precise and leaves me wanting for more
congratulations to the Author

A somewhat different kind of fiction story in this book "Seven at Two Past Five" by Tara Basi , which is about life and psyche of Abi, also known as Seven, and who is the old button maker who gets change in the routine arrival of nightmares to her. The story appears quite intriguing to read.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Given that I enjoy reading unusual books and this one looks to have all the necessary characteristics, it seems like this is exactly the kind of book I'd want to read. I'm genuinely interested in learning how button production relates to unpleasant dreams and why the hero is interred in a loft casket. Congrats to BOTD's author!

The truth really hurts and when it is once said, one is free from captivity or something that has prisoned one's life and happiness, so Abi will have to come to terms with some startling truths that she has kept hidden deep inside her out to set her free. Nice story.

Great review! I am no fan of Kafkian absurd novels, yet this one started in a very interesting and unique way. The characters live in a world based on routine and incomprehensible laws. However, I have read my share of dystopias so I cannot finish reading this.
