Dream Girl had promise. It had it's interesting parts but overall, it could have been better executed. 
 The story progresses quite slowly and a lot of the more interesting parts were vague or rushed. For example, there needed to be more build up with the characters and their relationships. What came to mind while reading Dream girl, was that the author had a good idea but was a bit daunted by the word count. The result was a story that filled out the length of the book instead of what happens in really great books, where the author has so much to say that there's always something happening and it's crammed into the page count. A good example of that concept are the Harry Potter books. 
 In addition to this, the characters needed a bit more fleshing out. There was enough I liked to keep me reading but not enough to really connect with them. 
 Finally, the ending was a bit of a let down. I wasn't keen on the way the series was going to progress and I thought it was a bit anti-climatic.
