Samantha's Reviews > Dream On, Ramona Riley

(3⭐️) I'm conflicted. My love for Ashley Herring Blake often inflates my ratings of her books, but what I know for certain is that this was definitely not my favorite of her works.

Starting with the positives, I liked both characters as individuals. They're deeply messy and have a plethora of personal insecurities and past traumas to work through, but that makes them relatable and human. Also as a fellow libra, I relate to Ramona's desire to try to be everything to everyone.

However, the messiness of how their relationship begins left me feeling a bit icky throughout and definitely depleted how romantic I actually found their story. At the end of the day I was rooting for them, but the majority of their love story felt tainted, so that was disappointing.

tropes: small town | celebrity romance | each other's first kiss

Final thoughts:
Overall mediocre but I am still excited to see how the rest of the stories in this universe unfold.
