“I’ve never wished for ignorance, but I wish we didn’t know what we know. I wish I’d just taken you and ran.”

Dream Girl Drama started off pretty strong for me. Potential adult step-siblings, who meet like hours before they find out their possible legal connection, try to resist the intense and immediate connection they have. I thought the initial longing and protectiveness from Sig over Chloe was sweet. These two just yearned for each other and Sig was adamant that they were destined and that whether they ended up together or not, Chloe deserved to live her dreams her way and to live life her way. All that was great. I think I may be a little jaded though because I started getting annoyed at the point where everyone was making it a huge deal that these non-related adults may have feelings for each other because their middle aged multi-marriage parents might get married. Like I’m sorry, but in the real world this may make me pause but it isn’t that weird considering they didn’t grow up together and met as adults. BUT maybe I’m a hippie or something. So I think that detail being battered into my head as some big horrible ominous threat to their careers and life itself kind of took the vibes down for me. So while I love Chloe and Sig, I think this trope works better in a taboo/forbidden light when it’s a new adult romance or when they were actually step-siblings that shared a home. Then I understand people’s concerns.

Also, this was the audio version of this book. I thought voice actors did a great job. I felt engaged and really invested in the story as they acted it out.
