Your Dream for Me by Alison Schaffir
3.0
"Unraveled Dreams" is a YA novel that seamlessly weaves together themes of ambition, friendship, and self-discovery. Seventeen-year-old Scarlett, with her passion for fashion and aversion to the spotlight, is a relatable and endearing protagonist. Her journey from sneaking into the school's costume shop to pursuing her dream of becoming a renowned fashion designer is both inspiring and heartwarming.
The author's adept storytelling introduces Nathaniel Wilder, a talented theater student who becomes an unexpected source of inspiration for Scarlett. Their budding friendship adds depth to the narrative as Scarlett navigates the challenges of mastering sewing skills and balancing her passion for fashion with her desire to be closer to Nathaniel for the school play.
As Scarlett's designs begin to take shape, the novel takes an unexpected turn with a distressing event involving her best friend, Macie, which tests their friendship and causes Nathaniel to pull away. The author skillfully builds tension as Scarlett faces not only personal setbacks but also external challenges, including a rival intent on tarnishing her reputation.
What sets "Unraveled Dreams" apart is its portrayal of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Scarlett's unwavering spirit and newfound sewing skills serve as a testament to the power of pursuing one's dreams, even when faced with obstacles. The novel's engaging plot and well-developed characters kept me invested from start to finish, rooting for Scarlett every step of the way.
The only reason I am giving this book a 3 stars is because at times it felt so juvenile.
This book was given to me as an arc read and all opinions are my own. Thank you, NetGalley for giving me a chance to review this book.
