We are in the car. She’s looking at me. I can see the love in her eyes for me. Then a huge car crash. She’s flung out of the window. I’m thrown out too. A pool of blood. Her eyes still on me… but now it’s a death stare.

I am Daman and I wake up to this nightmare. Every. Single. Day.

The nightmares from the accident are still haunting him. Daman, a wannabe writer, has one name in his head since the day he woke up from coma, Shreyasi. He has his life planned, a loving girlfriend, Avni, and his soon to be published book- ‘The Girl of My Dreams’ which will be a break for his career. But its not long before Shreyasi comes back, a 26-year-old married woman, and a crazy lover of Daman. She awaits to see her love story in the book but is raged to see her character turned entirely differ
ent. She is determined to win her place back, ruin Daman’s girlfriend and make him fall in love with herself. But she is different, not the one Daman feels and imagines about. Will she win?

The Girl of My Dreams is a story of love. Love that comes in various forms- madness, stalking and self-destructing. It is not always that what we imagine our stories to be is the one that we find happiness in. Some people are better fictional than in real world.

The story overall was quite engaging. But some parts seemed too obvious that I could not connect to the book anymore. The mystery and romance will indulge you in the book while some over-exaggerating parts may keep you from liking it overall.

I personally enjoyed reading the story. Though, the mystery was kind of revealed halfway through the book but what actually occurs at the end puts a remarkable spike in the story. Do people sacrifice their lives for love? Read the book and find out.
