Es gibt einfach Bücher, die machen von der ersten Seite an Spaß zu lesen. Die meisten Bücher von Kerstin Gier sind mit von der Partie.
Gründe um dieses Buch zu mögen:
Tolle, mehrdimensionale Charaktere, eine Hauptdarstellerin die weder hilflos noch Mary Sue ist und abei sehr sympathisch wirkt, magischer und gut durchdachter Plot und überraschende Wendungen.
Komplett und uneingeschränkt weiter zu empfehlen.
Einzgies Manko: Es dauert bestimmt wieder ein Jahr bis der nächste Band der Trilogie raus kommt und das dauert einfach zu lange.

WOW I HAVEN'T BEEN ON GOODREADS FOR A WHILE I'M SO SORRY
anyways...
This book was eh. I really don't know why I keep reading Kerstin Gier because I already know that I dislike her books and her writing in general, but something compelled me to pick this up and I chugged through it.
The concept behind this book was interesting, but poorly executed. Gier didn't explain what was actually going on and I felt lost a lot of the time. The romance is sickly sweet and just generally unbearable. Liv, as a protagonist and narrator, got on my nerves many times.
So, basically, this book had a lot of flaws. I don't know if it bothered me just because I know I don't like Gier's writing, but I didn't enjoy it.

This review was first posted at thegirlsinplaidskirts.com.
First off, a big thank you to Macmillan for this ARC!
What first drew me to this book was the cover. I thought it was so pretty with that bright purple door and the bubbles and butterflies. It looked so dreamy, which I’m pretty sure was the point.
Then, I saw the name of the author. Kerstin Gier! I LOVED her Ruby Red trilogy, and wanted to give Dream A Little Dream a try. I was a bit disappointed that it didn’t live up to my expectations, and I didn’t enjoy it as much as I did Ruby Red.
Things I liked:
-Olivia’s family. I loved the relationship between Olivia and her sister and their Nanny. So adorable!
-Swoonworthy boys. Yes, plural, because there were lots of them!
-The idea of being able to enter other people’s dreams. Sure, things can go terribly bad because of this, but it’s a really cool concept. It’s amazing what you can learn about someone if you visit their dreams.
Things I didn’t like:
-Creepy stuffs. I knew going in that there was a possibility of some questionable content, but I hoped that a more reasonable explanation would be provided. Basically, (this is a little spoiler-y, but not too much) they end up making a deal with the devil to make their wildest dreams come true. I hoped that maybe there was some misunderstanding and there would be some other explanation for what was going on, but nope. That’s totally what happened, which is quite creepy.
-Too much talk of sex and virgins. How have I not gone on a ranty post about sex in YA yet? Because I want to really bad. So yeah, that’s definitely a negative point.
The ultimatum:
3.5 out of 5 stars. I enjoyed the characters and the dream sequences, but there was some iffy stuff that I didn’t like.
Content Advisory: (Read more about the rating scale here.)
Language: 3.5
Uses of h, s, d, and a scattered throughout.
Sexual: 3
Some innuendos; talk about virgins and sex
Other:
Characters drinking at a party; some scary elements
