Reviews

[Sofia · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was an alright book. Nothing much happens until the last third portion where there is some drama and a dilemma for the protagonist. An average story at best. The characters weren't also that memorable for me.

[Esdibee · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of the few books in the Sweet Dreams series wherein the girl doesn't lose herself in the romance. The down-to-earth nature of the story makes it much more sweet and adorable. The simple fact that the whole world doesn't revolve around Doug makes it worth it.
