Book Review: When Dreams Come True by Rebecca Emin


Ebook provided by NetGalley for review. Thank you.

A weak storyline, weak characters and weak writing. There was also a lot of tell rather than show. We're told repeatedly that Auntie Jenny is ill but not with what. We're told Charlie and the boys are best friends who text loads but they don't have many conversations or texts.

In the UK I can't imagine any 13/14 year old (year 9 age) needing a childminder, you go to a friends house or just home on your own. The book wasted a lot of time on the school trip and completely rushed the whole ending making everything a bit jumbled. Also were the dreams prophetic/magical or not? It was implied they were but it was never covered.

Note: These next few reviews are going to be a little out of order as I have a couple of NetGalley reviews I need to prioritise - especially as I read them a few weeks ago.
