In this fun story we follow Liv Silver who has just moved to London with her nomadic family. Once she arrives however, she quickly realizes that her mother seems to have plans to finally settle down. Liv and her little sister, Mia, are thrust into an insta-family and move into their mother's boyfriend's house with his teenage children, Grayson and Florence. Liv soon realizes that she is eerily familiar with Grayson and his friends Henry, Arthur, and Jasper, but can't figure out why. They are the golden boys of the school and she soon finds that they are in her dreams, but that they also seem to remember what happened in her dreams. Liv loves a good puzzle so she will stop at nothing to solve the mystery.
I had some problems with the story at points where it seemed to be a bit disjointed. In one scene an object would be in someone's hand and then in the next paragraph they were reaching for the same object that was just in their hand. Some of the dialogue as well sometimes didn't make sense. It could be because they spoke in a very British way, but it seemed like if you took out Liv's inner monologue and just read the words spoken out loud, the conversations seemed a bit incomplete. Don't get me wrong, the story is fun and I am definitely about to pick up the second book as soon as I post this. It may just be that it took me some time to settle into the writing style because I did have fewer issues the further into the book I got. It took me about a hundred pages to really get into the story and stop seeing the little things that didn't necessarily make sense.
Overall I rated this one three stars because the story is fun and I definitely want to see where it goes in the next book, but there were some small issues with the writing. I would say this is worth your time because it is entertaining and a very fast read.
