An Amazon Best Book of the Month * B&N's YA Book Club Pick * Walmart Buzz Pick * Indie Next Pick * Book of the Month Club YA Box

A "joyously, riotously queer" (Kirkus) young adult fantasy from debut author Ryan La Sala, Reverie is a wildly imaginative story about the subconscious becoming reality, perfect for fans of Adam Silvera and Laini Taylor.

A few weeks ago, Kane Montgomery was in an accident that robbed him of his memory. The only thing he knows for certain is that the police found him half-dead in the river. The world as he knows it feels different-reality seems different. And when strange things start happening around him, Kane isn't sure where to turn.

And then three of his classmates show up, claiming to be his friends and the only people who can tell him what's truly going on. Kane doesn't know what to believe or who he can trust. But as he and the others are dragged into increasingly fantastical dream worlds drawn from imagination, it becomes clear that there is dark magic at work. Nothing in Kane's life is an accident, and only he can keep the world itself from unraveling.

Reverie is an intricate and compelling LGBT young adult book about the secret worlds we hide within ourselves and what happens when they become real.

And it’s not just Kane who’s different, the world feels off, reality itself seems different. . As Kane pieces together clues, three almost-strangers claim to be his friends and the only people who can truly tell him what’s going on. But as he and the others are dragged into unimaginable worlds that materialize out of nowhere. Kane realizes that nothing in his life is an accident. And when a sinister force threatens to alter reality for good, they will have to do everything they can to stop it before it unravels everything they know. . This wildly imaginative debut explores what happens when the secret worlds that people hide within themselves come to light. . Reverie was a beautiful written YA Fabtasy by Ryan La Sala.

    Reverie is about high school student Kane who has lost most of his memory after a car crash. Struggling with finding back into his own life, he also has to deal with the police while trying to figure out himself what has happened. Some of his classmates seem to know more than him, and then there is also a threatening creature made of shadows that is following him. The first quarter of the book is dedicated to finding out about those mysteries and while I enjoyed that part, I couldn't wait to finally get to the fantasy aspects. Which were amazing! The writing is beautiful and poetic and manages to capture the magic very well. I loved the creativity and uniqueness it presented. My one point of criticism, however, is that I am not happy with all of Kane's actions. He has a hard time trusting anyone, which is understandable. I still wish there had been better friendships without all the suspicion in general. Especially since there was so much potential and past trust within this group! All in all, I did enjoy Reverie a lot. It's dreamy and playful and mysterious and I can only recommend it!
