Зильбер. Первый дневник сновидений

Reading this book I was an adventure all on it's own: Staying up til early morning just to get more, laughing out loud at the dinner table, and unable to sleep at night cause I couldn't get it out of my head- even after finishing it.

Liv truly comes alive as a character, and you can't not love her- even with all the dumb decisions she makes! And the people she interacts with come alive as well, would you forget Mia after reading this? No!!
The plot was definitely good, it grabbed you and wasn't letting go. I also noticed that Kerstin Gier sets her books in England, and I got to say I do like the change of scenery.

I love where this book goes, and the direction the plot is taking. I love the whole dreaming-world. Gier can definitely make amazing settings with this. (The cover is also gorgeous, by the way.)

4 stars. It is definitely a favorite of mine, and I look forward to owning it.

What fun this book was! I'm already quite partial to Kerstin Geir, ever since the Ruby Red trilogy was translated to English. Dream A Little Dream has everything you need to get lost in a quick read. Adorable family drama, a protagonist with a sharp wit, and some pretty boys who are hard to look away from. Best of all, there's no love triangle! YA abounds with these, and so reading a book where that isn't necessary is essentially the best thing ever.

Let's talk about Liv, our protagonist, first. I absolutely adored her. Liv's character is adorably awkward. She's sweet, has a wit to be reckoned with, and doesn't fold under pressure. In fact, what I loved most about her was how vibrant she was. Even in the face of darkness, because trust me when I say that this book isn't all sunny skies, Liv shines. She's a logical character which doesn't quite stop her from being all swoony over boys, but it does make it much more fun to read.

Even better, is the family relationship in this story. Liv's mother travels constantly for work. As such, Liv and Mia are shipped off all over the globe and never really settle. Their mother is a bit flighty, but her love for them comes through. Still, it's the relationship between Liv and Mia that takes center stage. These sisters are so sweet! Sure, there's the normal banter and bickering. There's also a ton of adoration and support there too. I love sister relationships, and this one was perfection.

Story wise, things move quickly but there's always just enough explanation to make it easy to follow. I'll admit that there are a few plot holes, I definitely had some questions at the end, but I'm heartened by the fact that this is a trilogy! I need more as soon as possible.
