Dream Girl
Thank you TLCBook Tours and WIlliam Morrow Books for this gifted copy.
Last yearโs hit thriller, Dream Girl, is now out in paperback! Iโm so excited to read it after all the rave reviews, so Iโm packing this one in my pool bag today!
๐ฆ๐๐ป๐ผ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐: Aubrey, the title character of Gerry Andersenโs most successful novel, Dream Girl, is so captivating that Gerryโs readers insist sheโs real. Gerry knows she exists only in his imagination. So how can Aubrey be calling Gerry, bed-bound since a freak fall? A virtual prisoner in his penthouse, Gerry is dependent on two women he barely knows: his incurious young assistant, and a dull, slow-witted night nurse.
Could the cryptic caller be one of his three ex-wives playing a vindictive trick after all these years? Or is she Margot, an ex-girlfriend who keeps trying to insinuate her way back into Gerryโs life?
And why does no one believe that the call even happened?
Isolated from the world, drowsy from medication, Gerry slips between reality and dreamlike memories: his faithless father, his devoted mother; the women who loved him, the women he loved.
Now here is Aubrey, threatening to visit him, suggesting that Gerry owes her something. Is the threat real or a sign of dementia? Which scenario would he prefer? Gerry has never been so alone, so confused โ and so terrified.
And then he wakes up to another nightmareโa womanโs dead body next to his bedโand the terrifying uncertainty of whether he is responsible.
