Sweet dreams

It's the 10 year High School class reunion and it's time for the duckling to make an appearance. But the catch this time is that there will be no swan, instead he turned into a bird of prey who was quite debonair. Jared Wilkes paced in his Manhattan apartment comtemplating what to wear, he wanted to make a good impression but he did not want to overkill. Ten years ago Jared had a mad crush on high school beauty queen, Daria Mitchell. But Jared was a nerd and he was too shy and insecure to approach her. So Jared's older brother Chapper, a high school and all-state basketball star added her to his list of groupies.Daria has been living in California pursuing her dreams as an up and coming actress, but she is looking forward to the reunion. Jared, works as a senior bonds trader for a Manhattan firm. He is going home, but only because Daria will be there. Jared never really got over the crush he had on her and he's now ready to get up-close and personal. Ms Laudat, has written an interesting twist to this coming of age story for one shy young man who finally gets an opportunity to share his feelings with his high school fantasy. But his brother Chapper is living back at home and he uses his old charms and a few new habits to create a firey sibling rivalry. Will Jared finally beat his brother and wake from his dreams to a promising and real tomorrow?Reviewed by aNN
