A stunningly powerful novel of humanity's will to survive against all odds during an epidemic by a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. An International Bestseller - "This is a shattering work by a literary master."--Boston Globe A city is hit by an epidemic of "white blindness" which spares no one. Authorities confine the blind to an empty mental hospital, but there the criminal element holds everyone captive, stealing food rations and raping women. There is one eyewitness to this nightmare who guides seven strangers--among them a boy with no mother, a girl with dark glasses, a dog of tears--through the barren streets, and the procession becomes as uncanny as the surroundings are harrowing. A magnificent parable of loss and disorientation, Blindness has swept the reading public with its powerful portrayal of our worst appetites and weaknesses--and humanity's ultimately exhilarating spirit. "This is a an important book, one that is unafraid to face all of the horror of the century."--Washington Post A New York Times Notable Book of the YearA Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year

Dreamy
Format: Kindle
This was such a fun read! The story is full of quirky characters, witty dialogue and intriguing drama..... all wrapped up in steamy chemistry. Savanna and Kyle's meet cute and subsequent romance doesn't follow the typical " and they lived happily ever after" script. This makes for a story with interest twist and turns. You know the author did a great job of bringing the story to life when you're left with the feelings of, " I want to live in that town; I want to be part of that friend group. This story did that for me. Bravo!

Sweet second-chance romance
Format: Kindle
When You Smile was my introduction to Melissa Brayden’s writing, and Dream a Little Dream confirmed that this author creates lovely stories with amazing characters.
This book was a sweet second-chance romance with enough sad moments to make me shed some tears.
It also has a surprise reveal that I didn’t see coming and a small-town community that made me feel warm and cozy.
I loved Kyle and Savanna. Their first meeting nearly got me giggling, but I was definitely kicking my feet and smiling like a fool.
Savanna was endearing and had a knack for public announcements. I felt deeply for her and truly understood her reaction after getting hurt. As for Kyle… is there a word to describe her? I could feel her aura bleed through my screen. Her flirting and ability to get through Savanna’s defense left me swooning one or two times. I honestly don’t know how Savanna managed to stand on business so 10 out of 10 for her effort.
I really enjoyed Dream a Little Dream and can’t wait to read another Melissa Brayden’s book.

Wonderful
Format: Paperback
This was a hard book to put down. The characters of Svanna & Kyle are so well developed, as our their families and friends, who just enhance the whole story. When Savanna is left on the bridge, my heart broke, was amended later, and fulfilled by the end of the book.

Dream…
Format: Kindle
I loved this book right from the get-go. The snappy repartee between Savanna and Kyle made me laugh and shiver with delight all through this book. Toss in all the great characters in Dreamers Bay and I was sold! Wonderful story, great plot twists, fantastic highs and lows. A true smorgasbord of emotions. Thanks Melissa…

Loved this book so much
Format: Kindle
First, it’s a cute story with a great themes of: younger older woman, daughter‘s friend, disgruntled with family. I have to admit every time the main character was talking to her father I was so incredibly annoyed. It brought up all the conversations I’ve ever had with misogynist in my life. Definitely well written.
On happier notes; the love story, the meddling neighbor/landlord, cute child, and kittens! Really, what story isn’t made better by kittens?
Seriously this is an exceptionally well written story with fantastic characters, plot lines, and a great ending.
