A review by bags_and_bookz
Dreamland by Nancy Bilyeau
3.0
Thank you Netgalley, Endeavour Media, Endeavour Quill and Nancy Bilyeau for free e-Arc in return of my honest review.
A wealthy young American heiress, Peggy, prefers quite and working life to pompous social events and trips that her family is privy to. She succumbs to her family demands to spend whole summer in Coney Island with them along with the family of her sister's fiancee. They all are staying in luxurious hotel overlooking water and neighbouring few attraction parks. Peggy does not know what adventures and what changes this trip might bring.
I enjoy the set up of the novel and the descriptions of the land and attraction parks. I think Nancy Bilyeau succeeded in creating a beautiful atmosphere for the love story between a young wealthy girl and poor artist whom she met in one of the parks. Though, I quite disliked Peggy as a character but it seems her behaviour was appropriate for her upbringing.
I was quite disappointed in the mystery side of the story as I guess about the murderer from the start.
Apart from that, it was a fine book for me.
