Dreamland by Nicholas Sparks

emotional hopeful medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

I’ve seen many movies based on Nicholas  Sparks books, but this was my first time actually reading one. I enjoyed the storyline between Colby & Morgan, however, at times I was bored by the repetitive content of Beverly’s sections. 
I realized about mid-way through the book that Beverley was going to be Paige, but I enjoyed that I wasn’t completely certain how Gary and Tommie fit into the reality of things. Additionally, I found it heartbreaking when Colby and Morgan walked through  the house, viewing the disarray and mess from their perspective - while as the reader, I understood how Beverly/Paige had gotten to that point.
Overall, I  enjoyed this as my vacation read and would recommend it to anyone who likes a quick romance book (a vibe very typical for Nicholas Sparks or Sarah Dessen!).
