The Book of Dreams - Nina George

The Books of Dreams is the second book by Nina George that I read. I started it back in August and then got very busy with work and other books, and totally neglected my kindle for a couple of weeks. Now, that was a big mistake, I will tell you why.

Imagine this: Friday morning, I left work early, and I'm sitting in a coffee shop drinking a Pumpkin Spice Latte, reading with a huge knot in my throat and holding back tears. Saying “OMG, this book is just….” I could not even describe it at that moment, because I was overwhelmed with all the feelings that evoked.

The Book of Dreams is a beautiful book, with a gripping story about a young boy, a father, the woman he loves and a lonely girl. At first, it was not easy to grasp everything that the book was about, but slowly chapter by chapter I was compelled to the story and the characters; they are all complex, interesting and very well constructed. I loved reading all the different POV’s, Sam was a lovely young man, Eddie was strong characters, but it was Henri who made me cry. The way Henri was going through all the stages and thinking about Sam, the things he felt, they just broke my heart and so did the ending. That was the only part I did not like because I wanted so much more.

Nina George did a great job with this book, she wove a beautiful story about love, all kinds of love, about forgiveness and redemption; she created amazing characters and a story that stands out because of its peculiarity and uniqueness. I loved it and it will certainly in my top reads this year.
