Some Faraway Place, the third Bright Sessions novel from creator Lauren Shippen, features Rose, who has her humdrum life flipped upside down when she starts to travel into dreams.
Rose Atkinson's mother can see the future. Her father can move things he doesn't touch. Her brother Aaron can read minds. And Rose, well, she makes a mean spaghetti bolognese.
Everyone else in her family is Atypical, which means they manifested an ability that defies the limits of the human experience. At nineteen, well past the average age of manifestation, Rose is stuck defending her decision not to go to college and instead working in the kitchen of a local restaurant, hoping to gain the experience she needs to become a chef.
When a rollerblading accident sends her to the hospital, she meets a girl she can't forget and she starts to feel like maybe her life isn't quite so small. But when she starts falling asleep mid-conversation, she thinks, then again maybe I'm doomed to never have good things.
Rose should be happy to learn that she's Atypical after allâ??that diving into dreams makes her a part of her family in the way she always wanted. But the more time she spends in the dreamworld, the more complicated her ability becomes. Trying to balance her work, her power, and a girlfriend who doesn't know about Atypicals, Rose seeks help. But she soon discovers that being Atypical comes with dangers she never could have imagined. Even her carefully constructed dreamworld isn't safe.
This is the story of Atypical Rose, who discovers that your dreams coming true isn't always a good thing.

DNF at 30%. The Bright Sessions series is so character driven that if you don't like the character, it's impossible to get through the narrative. This is definitely my own bias at play but Rose was hard to relate to and when reading her journal entries/blogs here, I just didn't care what would happen to her. I didn't like her in the podcast either because she's written like some whimsical fae girl but makes really dumb decisions so it comes off more naive and childish.
Damien is by far the most interesting character in this world (which is saying something, see my review of TBS #2) and putting him in the book was maybe a mistake because it highlights how boring and underdeveloped the other characters are.

teen/adult fiction - this installment features Rose, a 19-year-old who opted to follow her passion and work in a restaurant rather than go to college like her classmates, until she starts to fall asleep in the middle of the day without warning when her dream-diving superpower (genetically based) starts to develop.

Her storyline, complete with mom, dad, and brother with separate superpowers and issues of their own, is less compelling than the first two Bright Sessions novels. Rose's narrative is interspersed with blog entries of her fan-fic-writing meet-cute would-be girlfriend, and also with letters written by the troubled Damien (of the previous book), so the narrative does eventually get hijacked by Damien's drama (as such, it will help the reader to have read #2 before this book, but also -- this one isn't really that interesting to read by comparison).
