Ashley has loved the same guy since high school. She knew Davis Frothingham was special even before he championed her at her senior prom. She also knew he was completely out of her league. Years later, her attraction for him is still there, but Davis? He doesn't even remember her.
When Ashley is tasked with being a caretaker for Davis' terminally ill grandmother, she's thrown back into his world. More than anything, she wants him to remember her, but that recollection could come at a price of its own.
Can Ashley accept that she's good enough for Davis? And can Davis learn to love a girl from the wrong side of the tracks? Find out in this delightfully fun romcom about love and life in Creek Water, Missouri!
"I'm moving to Creek Water, Missouri, with or without my family. I love this town and the all the characters in this series. So much heart, so much laughter, and so many wonderful characters that I will never forget. These books should be a television show so I can have my weekly fix for years to come. Hello, Netflix?Can you hear me?"
"Reading Whitney Dineen's books is pure delight. With characters who jump--or in this case, Charleston and paso doble--off the page, every page holds a gift. Whether that's impossibly hilarious moments or ones that tug at your heartstrings,you'll find yourself wishing that your time in Creek Water, Missouri didn't have to end."
"The Dream is an absolute dream of a book-filled with heart, hope, love, and forgiveness. I laughed 'tilI cried and now I'm sitting here wishing this wasn't the last book in the series. Some one in Hollywood please turn these into movies already!"
"I absolutely loved this book. I laughed, I cried and was taken on a full roller coaster ride of emotional investment. I loved the characters so completely that I never wanted the story to finish. I enjoyed how Whitney Dineen combined the past and present to give us a full picture of Ashley's life. The high school journal entries starting most chapters allowed us to seethe past which haunts Ashley's present and added to her mindset of insecurity.I couldn't believe how much this book spoke to me as a reader; there was not one wasted word. Emotionally charged, beautifully penned, and such an amazing story, it deserves a place among the great rom-coms."
"Ashley Monroe grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. She's determined to make a better life for herself, and show her naysayers who she really is, but then life happens.Like every book in this series, there is laughter, so much laughter, then come the tears. Life is a journey of highs and lows, but through them all The Dream shows that it's all about perspective. It's about gratitude, humility, the art of forgiveness, and need to love yourself. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I just wish it wasn't the last in the series; I will miss my friends from Creek Water far too much for them to be fictional characters."
