Rapid Eye Movement by Amanda Sheridan

5.0

Jennifer and Lucy live in different countries, have never met and live completely different lives. One day they both are involved in severe accidents and ever since they've been able to see each other's lives through their own dreams each night. Why are they dreaming each other's lives? Is it even real and more importantly....what will happen when one of them stops dreaming?

I was drawn to this book immediately because of the cover. I found it so haunting and then I read the blurb and it sounded so intriguing that I just had to give this one a read and I'm so glad I did! The premise sets you up for a very interesting plot and I found myself totally drawn into these women's lives. You get to learn about their relationships and careers, but through the eyes of a stranger through their dreams. I thought I'd find myself a bit confused but I didn't because each chapter is clearly labelled about whose dream you are reading about. There were a few parts that I found a bit repetitive, but overall I really enjoyed the story and thought the dialogue was really fluid and believable too.

The concept of this book is pretty mind blowing. I love all things mysterious and unexplained phenomenon's. I enjoyed the romantic relationship between Jennifer and Ilan. His job was pretty interesting!

The ending broke my heart a little bit and I was left wanting more! I wouldn't even say it's a negative, but there is a sequel so I'm definitely going to be reading that soon.
