THE CECILY TAYLOR SERIES By: Krysten Lindsay Hager




Cecily wants a big life, but can she handle it?

Cecily feels like she has it all: great best friends, the beginnings of a career as a model/actress, and she's dating her favorite singer, Andrew Holiday. Then Cecily's best friend Lila begins to ditch her every time Lila's boyfriend calls. Cecily feels lost, but she and Andrew begin connecting more and she's never been in a relationship where she felt so understood. Andrew even begins to confide in her about his anxiety. Soon Cecily experiences her own anxiety on a magazine photo shoot, but she manages to impress the magazine staff. Just when it seems like all her dreams are coming true, everything comes crashing down when a photo of Andrew with another girl appears online. He swears nothing happened, but Cecily is crushed. She feels like she's lost two of the people closest to her.

Was her perfect relationship real or was she in over her head? 



THOUGHTS/REVIEW:

Can Dreams Come True by Krysten Lindsey Hager is a fun YA - Young Adult RomCom that I enjoyed reading about. I found Cecily's character a fun read with a great cast of characters that surround Cecily's life. Just like any teenager, Cecily is going through issues with self-esteem, friendships and love. I felt that the dialogue was great and the story line really kept my interest. This was a great YA story and I cannot wait to follow the story in Book 2.

This was a captivating YA story that I enjoyed reading.
