"What if you could dream your way into a different life? What if you could choose to live that life forever? Sloane and Maggie have never met. Sloane is a straight-A student with a big and loving family. Maggie lives a glamorously independent life as an up-and-coming actress in New York. The two girls couldn't be more different--except for one thing. They share a secret that they can't tell a soul. At night, they dream that they're each other. The deeper they're pulled into the promise of their own lives, the more their worlds begin to blur dangerously together. Before long, Sloane and Maggie can no longer tell which life is real and which is just a dream. They realize that eventually they will have to choose one life to wake up to, or risk spiraling into insanity. But that means giving up one world, one love, and one self, forever--

Okay. So it took me a hot minute to figure out what I wanted to rate this and I'm still not even sure if this is a correct representation. I don't think a rating can explain. For the first 250 pages of this book, I would have rated it a 1. Honestly. It was so bad. The subplots were actually ridiculous, the characters were SO shallow, the writing was flat out bad, and I was bored. The ONLY reason I didn't manage to talk myself into DNFing it was because the plot was intriguing and I wanted to find out what happened. I really just wanted to see how it ended. But again, I did not at all enjoy the first 250 pages.
The last 90-ish pages completely changed. It honestly seemed like it was written by someone else. It was riveting. I couldn't put it down. I ignored the intermittently buzzing dryer, letting our clothes get wrinkled, in favor of finishing this book that I didn't like five minutes ago. I truly had no idea what was going to happen up until the last page.
Am I glad I powered through to finish this book? Yes. Would I read it again? No, probably not.
