Krysten Lindsay Hager transports her readers to their high school days. Teens reading this story may very well be experiencing some of the same emotional trauma as those in the book: school, relationships with their friends, and new boyfriend/girlfriend relationships with dreams of romance. She brings us into the story instead of leaving us on the outside and looking in.

At the center of this young adult story is Cecily, a high school student with good friends, a boyfriend, and a huge crush on singing sensation Andrew Holiday. When word gets out that he will be in town to film a video, Cecily and some of her friends cannot pass up the opportunity to audition. Much to her surprise, Cecily is cast in the video and finds herself acting alongside her heartthrob. How will her friends, particularly her boyfriend, react? Will the growing attraction between Cecily and Andrew grow into something more?

This is a sweet story. Even if you are a more mature reader, or one who did not fill your high school days dreaming of a favorite singer or actor, it is likely that you will look back and smile as you recognize some of the other growing pains of your own youth.

Ms. Hager brings her characters to life by letting us know their personalities and their emotions. Settings are well described so that we know their surroundings. She provides us with a good story….one that certainly kept my attention.

Many thanks to the author for providing me with a copy of this delightful book with no promise requested or made of a positive review. I am, however, happy to say that I very much enjoyed Can Dreams Come True and can easily recommend it to other readers. ( )

This is the first book in The Cecily Taylor, Cecily has a crush on the singer Andrew Holiday who is just a year older than her and is from her town. She is quite the diehard fan, every interview, article, song, love interest she will know about. She has the opportunity to tag along at her friends audition for his next music video she has to go and hopefully get a glimpse of him.
Next minute she has asked to feature in the video to by ANDREW HOLIDAY himself!

There is so much more to this book than what I have written above. It was great in so many ways, I like Cecily, she was a great character and relatable, in fact the whole story was relatable.
I didn’t think much of Zach his jealousy and betrayal really annoyed me and some of her “friends” were also very much out for themselves and would drop her like a hot potato at times.

The storyline flowed at a nice even pace, it was well written and I really enjoyed it. I had not heard of Krysten Lindsay Hager beforehand but now I want to read all her books!
