Dream for a Second by Jes Smyth
5.0

Jes Smyth has done it once again; she's written a novel that sucks you in immediately and keeps you reading chapter after chapter. It's interesting. It's intoxicating in all the right ways. This story has so much heart. And Douglas; love it! 

Lena is such an interesting character. The way she deals with her grief was written so real, so relatable and so respectful. Going along on her journey was healing in some way to me as well.

And, I never thought I would like Palmer (let's say I totally understand what Lena sees in him) after I first met him in Time For Once (Jes her other novel). Because let me tell you, I hated him with a passion in TFO. And now, that I got a better look at him and how he goes through his own growth in this book, I like him a lot!

I'm sure this novel will stay in my heart for a long while longer. Or maybe until Jes's next novel comes out because her writing skills seem to be ever growing.
