I have kind of mixed feelings about this one. Overall, it was an enjoyable book, but I was highly distracted by errors. I realize the author is from Australia and some of the "errors" stemmed from me not grasping minor differences in language use/slang, but not all. If the author wants to contact me through my blog, melodysbookshelf dot com, for a list of errors, I will be happy to respond. That aside, I thought the premise of the book was truly unique and enjoyable.Things I enjoyed about the book:1. The premise2. The dream scenes (I wanted more!)3. The reveal (what was behind the dreams--awesome!)4. Sophie, free-spirited bead jewelry maker5. The ending. Loved, loved, loved it!Things I didn't love about the book:1. Pacing was a bit strange, offering highly descriptive dreams (very nice!) then skipping weeks and months at a time in other parts of the book. I realize part of the months skipping was necessary as nothing relevant to the plot really happened, but it still felt weird to me as a reader.2. Vic, stuffed shirt, kind of a jerk at times3. The lack of communication drove me nearly insane. Misunderstandings and failure to resolve issues/dragging out the conflict is a serious pet peeve of mine as a reader.Again, overall, it's an enjoyable book, but I won't read it again. I do recommend it as a good beach/weekend read as it reads fairly quickly.Sensuality: some descriptive dream sexRating: 3 stars
