Dream Girl by Laura Lippman

Gerry Andersen is living in a dream world: bedridden and unable to sleep, he drifts in and out of a pill-induced fug. With ghosts of his past similarly seeping in and out of focus, he finds it hard to decipher what about his life is real and what is fiction. Laura Lippman’s Dream Girl is a horror story for the #MeToo generation, a world in which fictional characters and real people battle for supremacy. It takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, as Gerry battles to see a clear picture of what is actually going on. Lippman brilliantly weaves together truth and lies, with a series of twists and turns as the story builds to an unexpected conclusion.
