This book is everything a magic-realism romance should beācaptivating, romantic, ethereal, and satisfying. As a total sucker for parallel worlds, I love the alternate-reality element of this novel. Each night, our protagonist Lydia has lifelike dreams of an alternate path in which her boyfriend Freddie didnāt just die in a tragic accident. The potent pills her doctor prescribed to help her sleep after his death are taking her into this magical dream world in which she would much rather live than reality.Ā
I love how this seemingly ideal dream world is juxtaposed with the reality Lydia is forced to liveā¦
From C.J.'s list on magic-realism romance for your otherworldly feels.
