review 1: Ramona is every woman. Every woman who ever had a crush on a rock star. But, Ramona decides not to settle for being just any woman, and decides to live her dream, quit her desk job and follow rocker Jesse across country as he tours. But Ramona's dreams take an uphill turn when she actually meets Jesse, and begins to know the man behind the facade. What Ramona finds is not the idolized star, but a real man, with real problems and real dreams of his own. As Ramona begins to love the man, Jesse finds in Ramona what a long line of one nights stands never could, someone who can love the imperfect man behind the rock star glow."Dream in Color" is a sweet story of a woman who throws caution to the wind and follows a dream, and a man who lives the dream only to find he needs more.... more Author Sarah Bradley has created two unforgettable characters who are real and likeable, and creates their story with tenderness, humor and passion. This book is for anyone who ever had a crush, (and really, who hasn't?) and took the chance to follow their heart. Brava, Ms. Bradley!
review 2: Initially I found Ramona to be annoying - a 35 year-old woman with an adolescent obsession with a retired teen heartthrob. Ramona reminded me of my best friend growing up who went through a phase where she was determined to marry Scott Baio and to get the rest of us to believe her. She outgrew it but Ramona never did. As the story progressed, albeit slowly, I appreciated the author's ability to convey the ideas of dullness, blandness, and a life filled with color. I don't compose but I sang and played an instrument for many years and I really enjoyed experiencing Ramona's total immersion in her music along with her. I think the author described it perfectly.The story did not end the way I expected. I would prefer to see cover art that more accurately depicts the characters; Jesse has hair long enough to toss over his shoulder and flop in his eyes in the story and the guy's on the cover is cut short. I also think the last chapter could have been longer and/or developed into an epilogue. Virgil ended up being a much more appealing character than the book description lets on and he deserves some epilogue time.While there is physical intimacy between characters it is largely left to the imagination, without any graphic description. The reader who is looking for "spice" or "steam" should look elsewhere.As of this writing the Goodreads blurb needs to be updated, as it appears that the Virgil was named Neil in earlier editions. less
