Why did I read it?
Did I choose this one because it shares its title with one of my favourite musical theatre songs?  Yes.  Any Dream Will Do from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is one of my favourite musical theatre songs.  

Shay has found herself in trouble after her brother convinces her to commit fraud for him before disappearing.  After she is released from prison she finds herself sitting inside a church to get out of the cold.  This is where she meets Pastor Drew.  Pastor Drew is a widower with two kids and he helps her get back on her feet.  The two become friends and I think you can see where the rest of this goes. 

This book is told from alternating perspectives.   Each chapter goes back and forth between Shay and Drew narrating.  You could see where the story was going pretty well the whole time.  The writing was subpar.  This woman has almost 200 books under her name.  So either she is writing each one in a month (which I would believe based on the quality) or other people write under her name for her. 

The narrating was fine for both the man and woman.  It is kind of nice to listen to these changing narration books.  They keep you a little more interested, but it was not enough to boost this book any higher. 

Rating: 2/5

Recommendation: My recommendation is to not waste your time.  There is far better light reads to fill your time than this.
