I received this book for free in exchanged for an honest review (via Lovers of Paranormal)I am very interested in dreams and have been hoping to find a good paranormal novel about the subject.  I think this is the best I've seen so far.  The dreams feel like real dreams. They have that surreal and irrational quality.The plot: Emily and her mother have a genetic mutation that allows them to stay in the dream state while their bodies remains safe in the real world.  There's good and bad in this.  The good is that the mother's dreams have inspired the two dreamers to write stories based on the dream. These stories have become successful and the mother/daughter pair are very financially comfortable.  The bad is that Emily's father has died. Her mother's not doing well with the grieving process and she uses the dreams to escape from reality and dwell in a fantasy world where she can still be with her husband.  Emily's neglected.There's a romance in the story.  It might not have the most noble beginnings. Girl likes boy because he's incredibly hot. Boy likes girl because her mother is a famous writer.  But sometimes love forms from things like that.There were parts of the story where I was thinking....Well, couldn't they just....  I don't want to go into details because of spoilers. And I could be wrong about things.  My idea of what they could have done might be very wrong.  I guess I can say (without spoiling) is I felt they put themselves in danger when maybe they didn't absolutely need to.Emily got on my nerves sometimes, but not in a she's-badly-written way. She's just a bit negative for my liking. She has a big chip on her shoulder.  I think part of her sorrows in life come from her own personality issues.  Not that she has an easy life.  But I think she makes things worse for herself.I would love to see this as a movie, so hopefully some producer will get a hold of it.Or maybe it could be a TV show!  That would be wonderful.
