Reverie
by Ryan La Sala
The premise of the story is fantastic; the execution,however, not so much.
The idea of belonging and not belonging is deep and definitely true to defining much of teen angst. It just didn’t work for me. The characters were uninteresting - maybe I was expecting way too much from the summary. I didn’t connect to any of them. The dialogue seemed forced and unnatural. While I appreciate the author’s imagination, the reverie world building was all over the place and really confusing. I usually read a book straight through, but I kept putting this one down and kind of dreaded picking it back up.
I’m sure there are others who will absolutely adore this book, but it just wasn’t for me.
