This book was incredible and ripped my heart out! I started it on a Friday night at 7pm and finished it in the morning, it was that good and sucked me in. This is my first book by Colleen Oakley and it won’t be my last. I’m blessed to be able to meet her later this month at Literature Lovers night out and I cannot wait to ask her questions about this book.

Ever since Mia (love this name :)) was a young girl, she has been having dreams with the same unknown man. After her and her husband, Harrison move to a new town, Mia runs into the man in her dreams, Oliver. As Mia goes through some life changes, she begins to grow closer to Oliver and farther apart form Harrison as she tries to discover the meaning of these dreams.

This book hooked me and kept me wanting answers but I truly believe Oakley doesn’t answer all these questions for a reason. This book is so emotional and powerful and I would highly recommend it.
