Sarah is doing just fine. Sure she’s been single for the last five years, and has to spend an uncomfortable amount of time around her ex-boyfriend, his perfect new girlfriend and all their mutual friends. And yes, her job as a PA to one of the most disgusting men in London is mind-numbingly tedious and her career is a constant disappointment to her mother. But it’s really okay. She’s happy (ish).

But it’s not surprising that when Sarah starts dreaming about a handsome stranger, she begins to look forward to falling asleep every night. Reality isn’t nearly as exciting. That is until her dream-stranger makes an unexpected real-life appearance, leaving Sarah questioning everything she thought she wanted. Because no one ever really finds the person of their dreams… do they?

I LOVED this book! I’ll start by saying that I wasn’t expecting it to be this good. Actually, to be honest, I wasn’t expecting it to be much at all. I really disliked Giovanna’s previous two books, so I was so pleasantly surprised by Dream a Little Dream!

The characters are likeable, relatable, and the whole story was charming, addictive and lovely. The writing style was slightly too long-winded and babbling than I usually enjoy, but it was of a better quality than I expected, and I found that it really didn’t bother me like I thought it would. My love for the protagonist, Sarah, and her story, kept me going and I was so disappointed when it ended. The only negative thing about good books is that they end, hey?

Sarah was a loveable and fantastic protagonist who I warmed to straight away – she was the kind of person I wanted to be friends with! She really grew in strength as the book progressed, and their was a great amount of depth to her character.

I adored the fact that Sarah’s dream man suddenly came into her life. I found myself rooting for her and Real Brett from the get-go! I completely fell in love with him and would love to read anything else Giovanna writes about them as a couple.
