Hi friends! So today I'm going to be doing a review on "Dream Girl Disaster" by Balazs Lorinczi. This review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (however there will be the Netgalley synopsis in this and sometimes it can contain spoilers so please keep that in mind!)
"Two rivals put aside their differences to help their friend make a student film. Easy, right? In your dreams!
Jo and Susie are best friends. Helen and Susie are also best friends. Helen and Jo, however... well, let's just say things can quickly get out of hand when the two are in the same room... or the same set, shooting Susie's action - movie project for film school.
As the lead actress, Helen is nailing it, while Jo is struggling to come up with music for the film. But when Jo's nights fill with eerily vivid dreams that transport her into the story alongside Helen's gruff heroine, she wakes up full of tunes. Is there something more than just hatred between Jo and Helen? What will Susie think about all this? Will they be able to finish the film before the tension on set becomes explosive? Or are these three dream girls headed for disaster?"
I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley, however all opinions are my own.
So the reason I wanted to read "Dream Girl Disaster" is because it popped up on Netgalley's graphic novel section and the moment I saw it was queer I knew I wanted to read it. Friends, this was such a cute little graphic novel. I loved the premise of the story. The idea behind it was wonderful, and magical, and genuinely made me wish there was a whole series around this friend group. The artwork was beautiful and the colours were genuinely perfect and dreamy (pun intended). However, sadly, this story was just too short for me. It genuinely felt a little rushed and I wish there was more to it. Everything was just resolved far too quickly for my liking, and personally I felt like it could have been flushed out more. Don't get me wrong, I'd still recommend this graphic novel if you want something cute, lighthearted and queer to read. However, I'm just greedy and want more.
I gave this a 3/5 star rating on Goodreads!
