So Angie drastically shifted her own mindset and adopted a much disciplined approach to writing. She wanted to throw all the determination and effort she could muster behind her dream of writing stories that others may want to read, stories which would hopefully make people laugh, smile, and swoon, and possibly even bring them some joy. Angie didn’t want to reflect on this time in her life later and wonder what would’ve happened had she tried writing. She wanted to actually be a writer, and not just dabble in it anymore. Her professional background includes stints in eco-tourism, law, and education, however these days you can find her writing romantic stories, dreaming about her next travel adventure, or enjoying the outdoors with her family.įor several years, she had dabbled in writing: reading books on craft, taken a writing class here and there, and was chipping away at a half finished, half baked book for around four years, however without any internal determination or drive and no real goals to see it through until the end. I also loved Cass’s friendship with Bri! I’ll definitely read books from this author again, this one was just a miss for me personally.Angie Hockman is a Goodreads Choice Award nominee and RWA Golden Heart Award winner. There were parts I loved, like the save-the-small-business theme and the plant scenes.

That whole scene made no sense and made me hate Devin. I really didn’t like that a miscarriage was used as part of a miscommunication trope. I kept thinking of the platypus or the Scrubs character, neither of which got me in the sexy rom-com mood. I also HATED the name Perry for a love interest, but that’s a me problem. Especially between siblings, it’s just icky to me. For one, I’m never a fan of the love triangle trope. Unfortunately, I had mixed feelings about Dream On and didn’t enjoy it as much as I liked Shipped. I absolutely adore this cover! It’s one of the cutest I’ve seen recently. But fate might have other plans… The Review: With her dream man by her side and an upcoming summer job at a prestigious law firm, Cass’s future seems perfect. Even more surprising is that Devin actually believes her story, and soon they embark on a real-life romance.

So when she runs into the real Devin a year later in a Cleveland flower shop, she’s completely shocked. She knows he’s a figment of her imagination-friends, family, and doctors confirm it-but she still can’t seem to get him out of her head. But everything she remembers about him feels so real, like the precise shade of his coffee-brown eyes the texture of his favorite hand-me-down scarf even the slightly crooked angle of his pinkie, broken after falling off a trampoline in third grade. When law student Cass Walker wakes up after surviving a car accident, she is flooded with memories of her boyfriend, Devin.
