Summary
from Goodreads:
Annabelle
Manning feels like she’s doing time at her high school in Chilton, Virginia.
She has her friends at her lunchtime table of nobodies. What she doesn’t have
are possibilities. Or a date for Homecoming. Things get more interesting at
night, when she spends time with the boy of her dreams. But the blue-eyed boy
with the fairytale smile is just that—a dream. Until the Friday afternoon he
walks into her chemistry class.
One of friends suspects he’s an alien. Another is pretty sure it’s all one big case of deja vu. While Annabelle doesn’t know what to think, she’s willing to believe that the charming Martin Zirkle may just be her dream come true. But as Annabelle discovers the truth behind dreams—where they come from and what they mean—she is forced to face a dark reality she had not expected. More than just Martin has arrived in Chilton. As Annabelle learns, if dreams can come true, so can nightmares.

Reviews:
“The
perfect book to add to your summer reading list. An awesome balance of love,
humor and action, this new read may just be your dream come true!” – GirlsLife
"Hits
the chick-lit and romance buttons, adding suspense and an intriguing idea as
well for nicely rounded entertainment." -- Kirkus Review
"An
original, twisty paranormal romance." -- Booklist
“Five
stars... Perfect writing, perfect characters … perfect plot.” -- Paperback Wonderland
“Dream
Boy skillfully and creatively tackles the common theme of good and bad dreams
coming alive.... The writing is tight and well-paced, and nicely balances
action with Annabelle’s character development as she tries to unravel the
mysteries of... her dreams. Her teenage voice is spot on: unsure of herself,
but spirited, with a sarcasm that masquerades as confidence. The plot twists
and moves in unexpected yet fascinating directions." -- The Roanoke Times
Excerpt:
I’ve
always been a dreamer. Daydreams. Night dreams. Dreams of grandeur and dreams
of escape. If I were an onion and you peeled back the papery outside, you’d
find layer after layer of eye-watering dreams. And in the center, where there’s
that little curlicue of onion heart? There’d be a puff of smoke from the dreams
that burned away.
It
was all just brain waves, I thought—disconnected, like the notebook that my
friend Talon keeps. She draws a line down the middle of the page; on the right
she writes everything she remembers about a dream, and on the left she puts
notes about the stuff that’s happening in real life, things that might trigger
her subconscious. Reality on one side, dreams on the other—a clear line between
the two.
But
it turns out there are no clear lines, just a jumble of what is and what might
be. And all of it is real.
