Goodreads synopsis: For seventeen-year-old Janie, getting sucked into other people's dreams is getting old. Especially the falling dreams, the naked-but-nobody-notices dreams, and the sex-crazed dreams. Janie's seen enough fantasy booty to last her a lifetime.
She can't tell anybody about what she does they'd never believe her, or worse, they'd think she's a freak. So Janie lives on the fringe, cursed with an ability she doesn't want and can’t control.
Then she falls into a gruesome nightmare, one that chills her to the bone. For the first time, Janie is more than a witness to someone else's twisted psyche. She is a participant.
Review: Well...doesn't the summary seem rather interesting. Believe me, it's not. The book itself had a very ingenious idea, but the plot, the characters, and the writing did not seem to live up to that of the idea the author had come up with. The content of the novel was rather inappropriate for teen readers and I would definitely not recommend this book to anyone, as a result of the vulgar language, nudity, smoking, alcohol, and other inappropriate behavior. One of the main characters herself was a very bad role model, having the novel revolve around her just didn't seem to be the best idea. I must say, this was another one of those books whether you love it or hate it, and I personally agree with the other readers out there that despise the novel. Oh, and I must warn you, if you do not like choppy sentences then you would absolutely loathe the writing style of this novel. This writing technique would stand out to some audiences, but again, it did not appeal to me as it did to a few others...just not effective, but I liked how it was simple in that format. All in all, I am not a fan of this book nor it's content so I would not recommend it to ANYONE. Rating: 1/5 *the one is for the creative idea behind the whole mess of everything else.
