Well I‘m an emotional wreck as I walk into work today. I can honestly tell you I didn‘t see the emotional rollercoaster coming. Really enjoyed this book even with some tears. Love, love, love. #litsyatoz #y

This book shows how loves is messy and complicated. I really liked this book because while it was that, it also was somewhat of a mystery. Mia dreams of a man she has never met, and this stranger, who doesn't feel like a stranger, has been dreaming of her too. I didn't guess where their fate would take them and just let the story unfold.

Ok, so maybe this isn‘t the light hearted read I was trying to stick to in all of this, but it was still an intriguing read nonetheless. Although this is a work of fiction, it covers a lot of topics that really get you thinking like dream analysis, past, present, future and fate. There are no easy answers in this book, but you connect with all the characters, only making the outcome all the more bittersweet.

There are several books in the same vain coming out recently and I am loving each one so far. Beautiful writing, but heavy in the tissues.

I thought it was well written story, a bit of a tear jerker but really good. Everything she wrote had meaning and I would definitely recommend it.

I've been trying for a couple days to write a review about this exploration of love, fate, and dreams without managing to say much that is coherent. So I'll just say this: 1- the story was not what I expected; 2- I can't stop thinking about it.

Linsy Sounds enchanting! ✨ 5y

I suspected going into this one that it would be schmaltzy, and I was right. Still, it was an easy read and a nice break from meatier books, even though my eyes rolled more than once. While I'm not averse to multiple viewpoints stories, the set up with most of the book being from one point of view and then, every once in a while, going to someone else seemed disjointed. This book won't rock your world, but it can be a nice diversion.

Dreams have always been a fascination of mine and make for an interesting premise. Mia is faced with choosing the man she married, or the man of her dreams, literally, but which one has captured her heart? Told from multiple POVs, this is a deep dive into matters of the heart. It is exploration of love and loss. Oakley tackles some heavy issues, but she infuses her writing with humour. Her characters are flawed, real, and just plain likeable.
