The Waking Dream
by Sage Steadman
This book is beautiful short story about teenage love, maturity and survival. When I first opened its pages, I didn’t know what to expect. Yet as the story transpired, I really started to feel a close connection with all the characters. It starts in a heartbreaking scenario which is probably why I feel so close and emotional with the characters. Especially Gabe and Jen. I love how we gain an insight into how Gabe is really feeling through the letters he writes to his deceased sister, that really pulled at my heart strings and enabled me to gain a better understanding of his grief and his actions. The book explores how different kinds of relationships, whether they be loving or abusive, shape people, with most of the characters moulded into what the society wants them to be. It really is a great read and a beautiful short story that will leave you thinking about it’s tale for some time after! I would recommend to anyone struggling to choose their next read!
