Reviews with content warning for Miscarriage - Dream On

gosh.... i loved it. i thought it would be kinda unbelievable as i thought it would go down a more supernatural/spiritual path, but it didn't, & i'm actually relieved it didn't. i loved that the mc doesn't take any bs - although some of the dialogue i did find a bit.. cringe but it wasn't like intolerable! since this was published recently, the pop culture references did throw me off & some of the slang but it wasn't like... horrible. although the plot is a prettyyy predictable, i still enjoyed the hell of it. i really enjoyed that the love interests actually were good people??? like, yeah, it's the minimum for a man to own up to his actions & apologize when he's done something wrong, but idk, it was just refreshing to see & refreshing to see the girl not be desperate (well.). i was totally not expecting the nsfw at the end (like literally, the end! it was the epilogue). PERRY ON TOP. that's all i have to say <3

sometimes love is not where we expect it & that's one of the best kinds of love, methinks. my only "grievances" would be that cass's trauma is kinda... overlooked? maybe overlooked isn't the right word... maybe it's just the pacing. anyway, overall, this novel is the perfect balance of romance, goofiness, lightheartedness, reliability, & angst. hurt/comfort stays on top <3

This was such a charming and thoroughly satisfying contemporary romance with an intriguing premise and a protagonist that I absolutely adored!

It follows law graduate Cass Walker who, after waking up from a weeklong coma, seems to have memories of a man that doesn’t seem to exist.

After a year of family, friends doctors confirming that her dream guy, Devin was nothing but a coma induced false memory, Cass is completely shocked to found out that Devin really does exist—and despite having never met her, he believes her story. And it’s not long before they begin to embark on a real life romance, despite the doubts of Devin’s brother Perry.

Now with her dream job in sight and her dream man by her side, things seem to be working out perfectly… the problem is fate may not be done with Cass just yet…

I was definitely drawn to this primarily for its quirky premise but ended up absolutely adoring our protagonists and the loveable cast of characters we meet (I loved Devin’s brother Perry and his dog, the Colonel.) The slow-burn romance that we develop was also really good.

It’s definitely a book I can see being adapted into a Hallmark movie—particularly in regards to Devin’s real estate developing father who’s dastardly plot to ruin his son’s career leads to a lot of wholesome community spirit.

I was also pleasantly surprised at how well everything involving Cass’s false memories is resolved, it felt like a realistic and fairly organic conclusion and definitely made more sense than what I had initially thought up. The plot does also briefly touch upon miscarriage so do check the TWs beforehand.

Overall, a fun, quick and incredibly entertaining contemporary romance that fans of Emily Henry or Hallmark movies should definitely pick up.

Also a huge thank you to Headline Eternal for the PB copy.

I don’t like life triangles, and this one was especially bad. I didn’t like either love interest, no investment in Perry at all. I finished through the epilogue because I wanted to see how she explained the big mystery. Hard eyeroll. Some of it was okay. This author needs a better content editor.
