Lovers and Dreamers is a true enough title for this trilogy.
It may be one of the many trilogies Nora Robert’s has written, but not many can
measure up in terms of perfection. All three stories take you into the lives of
three young women who had held what they thought were their dreams, and then
had them stolen away from them, only to
rise from the ashes of their broken dreams (such a cliché, but absolutely
perfect) and find new ones. The only character to not change what her dream
was, but to realize it in a new person, was Laura, in the last story. I put off
finishing the last in the series for as long as I could (I even opted to clean
the bathroom to put it off), because I just wasn’t ready for the conclusion of
their stories. Even having read this trilogy many times over (the picture above
is my actual copy that I bought brand new), and knowing what happens, I still
didn’t want to stop reading. I was fruitlessly hoping for there to be pages
magically added to the ending, making it go on forever.
This trilogy is getting a 5. I wouldn’t have read it so many
times if it didn’t deserve it. My usual telling’s of the writing being done
well, and the dialogue sharp, still stands true in these books. There are parts
of dialogue in these stories, and certain actions the characters perform, that I
know are coming and actively look forward too. I laugh giddily and then share
the stories with my fiancé (he doesn’t get them, he wasn’t there). This trilogy
is memorable because it’s not so farfetched that it is some fantastical fictional
story, but the perfect hints of humor, hurt, pain, love, and a strong bond of
friendship that lasts for lifetimes.
