Dream On, Ramona Riley (Clover Lake, #1)
by
by
5 out of 5 stars
Rep: Fat bi MC, bi MC, pan side character, bi SC, unlabeled queer SC, Black trans woman SC, Black queer SC, lesbian SC, East Asian SC, BIPOC nonbinary lesbian SC
Content warnings: Parental abandonment (past) and grief related to it, car accident and resulting injury (past), unsafe living situation for a child including witnessing drug and alcohol abuse (past), getting drunk, non-graphic vomiting, on-page sex
Ashley Herring Blake is simply incapable of writing a bad novel. This book overflows with their signature humor, found family, character development, diversity, and sexiness (I swear the spice gets hotter with each publication). The entire cast is wonderful and I adore Ramona and Dylan, even when I got frustrated with their lack of communication — not a spoiler, btw, since that’s the premise of the novel. They just both feel so delightfully human, like people I’d be friends with in real life. Dare I say, they’re on par with the Bright Falls gang, or perhaps even better!
I will absolutely purchase a physical copy of this book when it publishes, and I already can’t wait for the next installment in this series!
**HUGE thank you to Berkley for granting me an eARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review!**
