About the book
Vibrantly offbeat and utterly original, Lucy Keating’s debut novel combines the unconventional romance of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with the sweetness and heart of Jenny Han.
For as long as Alice can remember, she has dreamed of Max. Together, they have traveled the world and fallen deliriously, hopelessly in love. Max is the boy of her dreams—and only her dreams. Because he doesn’t exist.
But when Alice walks into class on her first day at a new school, there he is. Real Max is nothing like Dream Max. He’s stubborn and complicated. And he has a whole life Alice isn’t a part of. Getting to know each other in reality isn’t as perfect as Alice always hoped.
Alarmingly, when their dreams start to bleed into their waking hours, the pair realize that they might have to put an end to a lifetime of dreaming about each other. But when you fall in love in your dreams, can reality ever be enough?
- The Boy of Her Dreams: Alice has spent her whole life in love with Max. The only problem? He isn’t real… until she walks into her new high school and there he is.
- Dreams vs. Reality: Real Max is nothing like Dream Max—he’s stubborn, complicated, and has a real-life girlfriend. Their waking relationship is far from the perfect romance she imagined.
- Magical Realism: When their dream life starts bleeding into their waking hours, they realize their connection is more powerful—and perhaps more dangerous—than they ever thought.
- Quirky Romantic Comedy: Perfect for fans of Jenny Han and unconventional love stories, this YA romance is full of sweetness, heart, and offbeat humor.
