My Review

Any Dream Will Do is a warm, engaging read by Debbie Macomber. The characters were interesting and the storyline kept my attention gripped. For anyone who believes that there is no such thing as a second chance, read Shay and Drew’s story. Two people from extreme opposite ways of life meet and show each other that there is always hope and that people’s lives can be changed when they least expect it.

I loved the little girl, Sarah and how she just said what she thought. It was a great contrast to Shay and Drew, who tiptoed around sensitive subjects, she really brought the couple together and the children were an important part of the relationship.

I also enjoyed how the narration changed with each chapter from the point of view of both main characters, it gave an interesting insight into what both the characters were thinking.
