When Dreams Come True by Rebecca Emin
3.0
I would first like to thank Netgalley for sending me this book.
We have all experienced that awkward phase as we transition from being children to becoming teenagers. When Dreams Come True by Rebecca Emin is about exactly that. It is a middle-grade novel, written in first person, from the point of view of a thirteen-year-old girl named Charlie. We follow Charlie as she struggles with the changes she and her friends; Max, Toby, and Allie are going through.
This book had a fairly simple plot with not much happening but this did not in any way make the book boring. It was a relatively quick read with characters who ---while not being that relatable to me--- were probably relatable to younger people. My main problem with the plot was that not everything was well explained or fully developed. The writing in this book was also a bit lacking. It had no unique voice and its dialogue was a tad bit unrealistic.
Other than the underdeveloped plot and somewhat unrealistic dialogue, When Dreams Come True was a pretty good read. I would mainly recommend this to the younger readers out there since that would make it easier to relate to.
