When Dreams Come True by Rebecca Emin is the story of the awkward phase when children transition from being children to becoming teenagers. It is a middle-grade novel, written in first person, from the point of view of a thirteen-year-old girl named Charlie. Readers follow Charlie as she struggles with the changes she and her friends; Max, Toby, and Allie are going through.

This book is a fairly simple plot with not much happening but this did not in any way make the book boring. It was a quick read with characters who were relatable. I wish the plot line was more explained and fully developed. The writing struggled a bit with not having a uniquing voice and the dialogue was a bit unrealistic.

Other than the underdeveloped plot and unrealistic dialogue, When Dreams Come True was a good read.

I give this book 3/5 stars.

I received this book from Gingersnap books via Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.

Should be atomic bomb
What can I say ,this was suppose to set Charlie theron as a action hero but fell way off the mark, the story is confusing at best action sequences are over choreographed ,having said that it has a brilliant 80's soundtrack with lesser known songs from that time and a great support cast including James mcavoy,john goodman and toby Jones

There was so much more to this  than I was expecting. It is a subtle romance instead of all about the romance. Instead the book focuses on family, future, and saving face.

I read this in one sitting and absolutely loved it. The characters were hilarious and you wanted to take the rose colored glasses off Charlie through the whole thing. I highly recommend if you are looking for a contemporary to read!
