Real Like Daydreams by Julia Wolf
5.0
**6 Stars**
I loved this book so much and even found myself getting teary-eyed, which I never usually do. I have been waiting for Julian's story, and this book didn't disappoint. Julian was introduced in Amir's book, and he suffers a tragic accident that leaves him scarred and damaged. It was difficult to watch Julian turn from the sunny and outgoing characters to the depressed and angry one. He had to struggle to be able to walk again and was going to PT in the last book. He is now able to walk with a cane, but he is still going through a lot of pain. It was heartbreaking to watch his journey. His friendship with Amir is not the same since he was hurt saving Amir. He can't stand the way Amir looks at him or treats him with kid gloves.
Sera was such a sweet and sunshine character. She went through a breakup with her scumbag football player boyfriend. He cheated on her with his bitchy best friend, who is also in the school band with Sera.
She ended up meeting a guy at a party while she was dating that boyfriend, and they ended up building a friendship through texting. She didn't know who he was since it was dark. He helps her get through her breakup and when she goes through dark times. I was worried about the whole secret identity thing because that does usually leads to a third act breakup in books when the person discovers the truth.
She ends up trying to befriend the grumpy and scarred Julian. She also proposed a fake dating thing. He ended up pissing off her drum captain, and he asked her to make Julian fall for her and dump him. She needs his support to be drum captain since the girl who cheated with her ex-boyfriend is trying to take the position now. I was worried about the bet and secret identity, but Wolf made it work differently than I expected.
This was such an emotional book and I connected with both of the characters. Sera was such a beautiful and strong heroine, but she had insecurities and suffered through depression when she was younger. Her family treated her like shit and made her question her worth. I connected to her so much and loved her journey.
This was a beautiful romance and it just blew me away. This is not a dark romance but it does deal with darker issues. I am so impressed with J. Wolf and gave the last 2 books 6
