What a fun read Dreamology is! I started reading yesterday evening with every intention of just reading a few chapters before heading to bed. Next thing I knew I'd read half the book. A unique concept with an interesting set of characters kept me glued to the pages.

Alice and Max have dreamt of each other since they were just kids. Through their dreams they've traveled the world and fallen desperately in love. But that's all it is, just dreams. Until Alice's first day at her new school when she arrives to class and real Alice comes face to face with real Max.

I adored the dreamy aspect of this story. The dream sequences were so quirky and out there, it makes me wish I had a more active imagination. It's easy to see how Max and Alice fall for each other when they're in their dreams. They're able to forget about their daily problems and just live in the moment, two teenagers in love. But in real life, things are completely different. They don't actually know anything real about each other so we get to watch them learning about the other and falling in love all over again.

I loved ALL the characters! Everyone's personalities really shined through, including the secondary characters, making up a pretty fun bunch. I enjoyed the sweet and innocent romance with the perfect amount of push and pull.

I'm surprised this is a debut novel honestly. The plot is captivating, the imagery is vivid, the writing flows so beautifully and the pacing is just right. I felt like I was floating on a fluffy cloud. I'm already looking forward to reading this book again!

Definitely recommend this to contemporary readers and all the dreamers out there.
