The Daydreams -- Laura Hankin

<b>A deliciously entertaining novel about the stars of a popular teen show from the early 2000s--and the reunion special, thirteen years after their scandalous flameout, that will either be their last chance at redemption or destroy them all for good.</b> <p/>Back in 2004, <i>The Daydreams</i> had it all: a cast of innocent-seeming teenagers acting and singing their hearts out, amazing ratings, and a will-they-or-won't-they romance that steamed up fan fiction forums. Then, during the live season-two finale, it all imploded, leaving everyone scrambling to understand why. <p/>Afterward, the four stars went down very different paths. Kat is now a lawyer in Washington, DC. Liana is the bored wife of a famous athlete. Noah, the show's golden boy, emerged unscathed and is poised to become a household name. And Summer, the object of Noah's fictional (and maybe real-life) affections, is the cautionary tale. <p/>But now the fans are demanding a reunion special. The stars all have private reasons to come back: forgiveness, revenge, a second chance with a first love. As they tentatively rediscover the magic of the original show, old secrets threaten to resurface--including the real reason behind their downfall. <p/>Will this reunion be a chance to make things right? Or will it be the biggest mess the world has ever seen? No matter what, the ratings will be wild.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Laura Hankin<br><b>Publisher:</b> Berkley Books<br><b>Published:</b> 05/07/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 368<br
