Chelsea DeVries wrote this book when we were in high school together, and as a friend, I wanted to support her by purchasing and reading it. "Dream Girl" is a cute story about a young girl crushing on two guys, both of which she thinks seem to be perfect for her. It's a cute story, and I was very proud of Chelsea for getting it published. "Dream Girl" could have used a bit more fleshing out and a couple more revisions before final publication, but it was a nice first venture into the publishing world. I look forward to seeing what Chelsea brings to the table next as an adult novelist!

I wrote this book when I was 15 so although it was a good place to start, it definitely needed more work than I put into it. Yet, I don't regret writing it young because at least I realized I wanted to be a writer, and that you can't become a success overnight. Dr. Suess was rejected from 25 publishers because his ideas didn't fit the status quo. Being a writer is about seeing the world in a different way. At 15, I had this crazy idea that romance books should be written to appeal to guys so that's what I set out to do with these books. Yes, they lack content but before you go and leave another five paragraph review hating on my first real attempt at making the world see me as a writer, take a walk in my shoes. More importantly, pick up my pen and put it to paper. Writers should celebrate each other; not put each other down.
