Can Dreams Come True? (The Cecily Taylor Series Book 1) by Krysten Lindsay Hager – Review by Karen Pearman

Can Dreams Come True? by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I must say, I love this book. In fact, I want to re-read it that’s how much I loved it. I have never read a book by this author before but I’m planning to check out some of her others to see if I like them as much as I did this one. I am a sucker for coming of age stories about love. Especially first loves. And this one topped the charts for me. The writing is phenomenal. It was so easy to read and follow along and I refused to put it down because I was page turning so fast. I felt that she did a good job making the characters very familiar to me. I was quickly teleported back to my own teenage years and all the angst that plagued me during that time. I could sympathize with the main character in wanting to be understood and accepted for who and what I am, but instead feeling sad and rejected by everyone around me. I was extremely satisfied with the ending and could see this being made into a young adult romantic movie. In fact, I could see this being another Sixteen Candles movie by John Hughes. I look forward to following along with this story in the next chapter of their book. I highly recommend reading this book. In fact, I would say, this would be a great book for a mother and her daughter to read together and discuss. I could also see this being chosen as a young adult book club read. It’s well worth picking up and discussing.
