Vibrantly offbeat and utterly original, Lucy Keating’s debut novel combines the unconventional romance of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with the sweetness and heart of Jenny Han.

For as long as Alice may remember, she’s imagined Max. Collectively, they have traveled the world and fallen deliriously, hopelessly in love. Max is the guy of her dreams-and only her dreams. Because he doesn’t exist.

But when Alice walks into class on her first trip to a new college, there he is. Real Max is certainly nothing like Desire Max. He’s stubborn and challenging. And he has a very existence Alice isn’t a portion of. Getting to know each other the truth is isn’t as ideal as Alice always hoped.

Alarmingly, when their dreams begin to bleed into their waking hours, the pair realize that they might need to end an eternity of dreaming about each other. However when you fall in like within your dreams, can actuality ever be enough?
