Dreamology

By Lucy Keating

Book Overview

Vibrantly offbeat and utterly original, Lucy Keating's debut novel combines the unconventional romance of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with the sweetness and heart of Jenny Han.

For as long as Alice can remember, she has dreamed of Max. Together, they have traveled the world and fallen deliriously, hopelessly in love. Max is the boy of her dreams--and only her dreams. Because he doesn't exist.

But when Alice walks into class on her first day at a new school, there he is. Real Max is nothing like Dream Max. He's stubborn and complicated. And he has a whole life Alice isn't a part of. Getting to know each other in reality isn't as perfect as Alice always hoped.

Alarmingly, when their dreams start to bleed into their waking hours, the pair realize that they might have to put an end to a lifetime of dreaming about each other. But when you fall in love in your dreams, can reality ever be enough?

Interesting and Magical

Dreamology is hands down, one of the best books I’ve ever read. I loved the plot and the characters. I recommend this book to any people looking for a cute cozy story, it’ll keep you well entertained.

A quirky, fun read

This was a cute YA book about two teens, Max and Alice, who are in each other’s dreams. They go on crazy and fantastic adventures together and everything is great, until they end up meeting each other in real life. The beginning was a bit hard to get into but then it picks up and there’s some drama in the middle. Love the side characters, Celeste and Oliver. Overall, it’s pretty good read for anyone who likes the strangeness and absurdity of what goes on in dreams.
