This was such a weird book and lately I've been in a weird mood so I ended up vibing with this one a lot.
Dreaming of You is about a woman who ends up resurrecting Selena Quintanilla back from the dead.
I really enjoyed this story. This was the first book written in verse that I've ever read and I liked it very much! The concept was extremely unique. A lot of the themes of this novel also really spoke to me. Melissa struggles a lot with loneliness and I've been grappling with similar feelings these days as well. There were times when I found myself snorting and moments where certain lines of prose hit me a little too hard.
Honestly, this book was actually exactly what I needed to read today. It was wild and different and aching and I loved it more than I thought I would.
Thank you to to Netgalley and the publishers for providing this arc in exchange for an honest review!
