Dream On shares with the rest of the Stories of Serendipity that unique blend of paranormal and realism that is characteristic of Anne Conley. The main characters come together through bizarrely serendipitous circumstances, but the rest of the story is grounded in reality; real family dynamics, real jobs, real life stressors.Though polar opposites, Dalton and Alyssa's characters were both sweet, endearing characters with a gaping hole in their lives. Or, more accurately, Alyssa was walking around with a Dalton-shaped hole in her life and Dalton was sporting and Alyssa-shaped hole in his life. They complemented each other as well as one of literature's most famous couples, Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy.The conclusion was very satisfying and cliffhanger-free.
