Gretchen's Reviews > Dream Girl Drama

Dream Girl Drama was a fun read. I liked Chloe and Sig meeting and the instant attraction they had, I was excited for what was to come. They experience a lot of ups and downs, sometimes it's entertaining, sometimes it's drawn out, but I hung in there until the end because I wanted them to get their HEA. Overall, I thought it was good but I didn't love it.

Sig and Chloe had a lot of entertaining scenes and interactions together. They're in a situation where they instantly like each other but then find out they're soon-to-be step-siblings and start fighting their attraction and feelings. There is humor mixed with mild drama and angst right off the bat. I liked Sig and Chloe for the most part but sometimes his instant love for Chloe seemed over the top and Chloe and her sheltered self could come off as juvenile and not smart at times. That being said, there was a lot of fun mixed in that kept me smiling and reading. Those moments when you could feel their pull to one another were awesome. I was filled with anticipation for these two to get together. At first, I liked the slow burn back-and-forth between them. Then it felt too slow, to the point it was dragging, and by the time they actually got together, it felt slightly anticlimactic for me.

My main issue was how the step-sibling situation was set up. I didn’t see it as an issue since she’s 25 and he’s 29. Therefore, all the drama created with family or possible career paths felt forced and not fully believable to me. Because this situation was the premise of the story, I accepted it. However, for me, it felt like telling not showing when it came to this element.

There is goodness involved. Chloe and Sig are sweet together and there are some great moments involved. I loved the interactions with Sig’s teammates and that they injected a nice amount of humor as well. It’s not my favorite book by this author but it did make for a cute, easy read.
