Dream On, Ramona Riley by Ashley Herring Blake

3.75

---

3.75 ⭐️ This is a small-town x Hollywood romance with so many fun twists. 

Ramona Riley is a small-town gal who has spent her life putting her family’s needs before her own. Dylan Monroe is a Hollywood wild child whose image needs some serious damage control. When Dylan swoops into town to film her new movie, Ramona is tasked with helping Dylan learn the ropes of small-town living. But Ramona and Dylan have actually met before. You see, these two were each other’s first kisses when they were teenagers 🥹

I had fun with this book and connecting with the characters. Watching Ramona become more confident in her costume designing abilities while branching out of her safety net was so rewarding. And Dylan’s journey toward accepting the past was just as inspiring. I was also particularly obsessed with Ramona’s bestie April, and I hope we see her story in the future 🤞🏼

Pick this one up for:
👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👩🏻 Loads of bisexuals
🤡 Fake dating
🏡 Small-town romance
🍄 Mushroom dates
🦙 Llama face
