Sarah is doing just fine. Sure she's been single for the last five years, and has to spend an uncomfortable amount of time around her ex-boyfriend, his perfect new girlfriend and all their mutual friends. And yes, her job as a PA to one of the most disgusting men in London is mind-numbingly tedious and her career is a constant disappointment to her mother. But it's really okay. She's happy (ish).
But it's not surprising that when Sarah starts dreaming about a handsome stranger, she begins to look forward to falling asleep every night. Reality isn't nearly as exciting. That is until her dream-stranger makes an unexpected real-life appearance, leaving Sarah questioning everything she thought she wanted.
Because no one ever really finds the person of their dreams... do they?
I've never read anything by Giovanna before, so i picked up this book, mainly due to the cover. It's cute and all lovey dovey.
Admittedly I was torn at first, the book started slow and parts of it grated on my nerves, like Sarah and her crazy situation where she was still friends with her ex who is now within the group involving his new girlfriend on whom he cheated on Sarah with. I probably would have just gone mental.
But the story does pick up. Sarah is actually a really lovely, crazy down to earth girl. Her friends are just wonderful (still ignoring the ex though) and together they're just the type of friends you want to have. Sarah did make me laugh a lot as her dreams of 'Brett' got so out there, aliens, space, mad for it la la. It's just OTT.
The relationship between Sarah and Real Brett, was my favourite. I loved the development of the two characters, how they got together gradually, however much they both really wanted it, was adorable. It's something i would totally love. They never said they were together but its how they became and i think that part was what got me the most. It's probably what bumped up my score so much.
Overall this was a great story, there is a mini christmas edition of this book which is a short story about Sarah. I'm tempted to get hold of it just to see what christmas does to them.
Great author, think i'll have to find the other books now.
