I was given this book by the author in exchange for an honest review. 
 I have read quite a lot of dystopian YA novels in the last two years but I must say that Dare to Dream had some unique elements to it which I liked. (view spoiler)[ Maggies dreams and the destruction of Stonehenge acting as a potential countdown to the Invasion or destruction of the earth were unique and fitted the Story well. (hide spoiler)] 
 The main character Maggie was easy to like and identify with. Her best friend Dawn was loyal but also a bit superficial and weak. And the male friend / potential love interest Andy was likable but also quite shallow and not a very interesting male character to me. 
 The story was consequent, exciting and suspenseful except for two scenes, which seemed a bit superfluous. (view spoiler)[The visit to the school councelor seemed pointless as the future visits never occured and it had no consequences to the story. 
 Also the whole Dad Story - missing him, dreaming of a different life if he had stayed and then searching him - was interesting but lead to nothing. I hope that this is just because this is only the first book. Hopefully in book 2 Maggie will somehow meet her Dad, who also had those premonitions, again and they can bond. I am a sucker for a happy ending!:-) (hide spoiler)] 
 All in all I really liked the book and I am looking forward to reading book 2. I am curious how minor characters will develop and if story lines will be picked up there. Thank you for providing me with the ebook, Carys, I really enjoyed it!
