When law student Cass Walker wakes up after surviving a car accident, she is flooded with memories of her boyfriend, Devin. The only problem? Devin doesn’t exist. But everything she remembers about him feels so real, like the precise shade of his coffee-brown eyes; the texture of his favorite hand-me-down scarf; even the slightly crooked angle of his pinkie, broken after falling off a trampoline in third grade. She knows he’s a figment of her imagination—friends, family, and doctors confirm it—but she still can’t seem to get him out of her head.
So when she runs into the real Devin a year later in a Cleveland flower shop, she’s completely shocked. Even more surprising is that Devin actually believes her story, and soon they embark on a real-life romance. With her dream man by her side and an upcoming summer job at a prestigious law firm, Cass’s future seems perfect. But fate might have other plans…
⤖ My Review ⬻
I was very intrigued by the premise of Dream On by Angie Hockman! And the cover was also cute, so I decided to give it a go. Unfortunately, this was not the book for me—reading is subjective though and what didn’t work for me will definitely work for someone else! The characters were very well-developed and felt very real, particularly the protagonist, Cass. She was an interesting character with a unique story, and I really appreciated the development she went through.
I definitely enjoyed some parts of the storyline, but maybe it was the story as a whole that I didn’t enjoy as much. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but like I said, I’m sure there are those who will thoroughly enjoy this book! In conclusion, Dream On by Angie Hockman is an interesting book with well-developed characters and some great moments in the storyline. It wasn’t quite what I was looking for in a book, but I’m sure many readers will appreciate it for what it is.
