How Zoe Made Her Dreams Mostly Come True Sarah Strohmeyer Books

*Published on Page Turners Blog on 6/1/2013*

Okay confession time, I read this story right after we came back from our Disneyland vacation. Our family is hugely obsessed with anything Disney and while we had an amazing time, we did run into one grumpy Disneyland cast member. And it did make me think, how can they keep up that level of happy pretense during their 9-hour shifts? Well, Sarah answered that and more in her perfect-summer-read story, How Zoe Made Her Dreams (Mostly) Come True.

I'll just say it, I expected a quick, fun read, and I should have known (because I adored her Smart Girls Get What They Want), that Sarah would deliver more. She gave me a villain that was complex and unpredictable, move over Devil Wears Prada's Miranda Priestly and meet The Queen. What a demanding, never-can-quite-please boss. I, of course, loved her.

But mostly, I loved Zoe. Her selfless approach in wanting to help her cousin win the grant left me smiling. And mind you, she's not completely altruistic. I loved her awkward moments while trying to do the right thing. She's so completely relatable and gah, adorable.

What I loved best was all the back-stabbing, melodrama that can go on in such a small, competitive environment. It brought me back to my college days and just the simple fact that when you house teens together, for any length of time, drama will readily follow. Okay, and yes, I loved the romance. It hit all the sweetness of a summer fling, but also gave me that hopeful moment that all the best romances share.

When you're picking up your beach reads, be sure to throw How Zoe Made Her Dreams (Mostly) Come True in the bag with your sunscreen. You'll see what I mean when I say that it's the perfect summer book.

How Zoe Made Her Dreams Mostly Come True Sarah Strohmeyer Books Reviews

LOVE anything by Sarah Strohmeyer and this is a great one!
I really enjoyed this book because it was a fun read with humor and romance. Add in a happy ending and it makes a nice getaway.
How Zoe Made Her Dreams Come True brought back so many childhood memories of mine of a fairytale themed "park" that I grew up going to. This gave the hilarious and amusing behind the scenes type of story of the teens and students that intern and work there. This book is a must read for any Disney fan and anyone who is a fan of small fairytale/storybook themed parks.
I was super excited for this after reading (and loving) Strohmeyer's other YA book Smart Girls Get What They Want. How Zoe (Mostly) Made Her Dreams is straight adorable. Zoe and her cousin get hired for elite theme park Fairyland. Soon after orientation Zoe finds herself assistant to the evil queen herself while all other summer employees are cast as different fairy tale characters. The summer is spent catering to her every need, which includes walking The Queen's lovely dog Tinkerbell at the crack of dawn.

It turns out this is a reverse Cinderella story about Zoe searching for her "Prince Charming" based on something he left behind after their magical meeting one night in the forbidden zone of the park. Zoe can't go around asking questions about her prince though because she could get fired for breaking one of Fairyland's biggest rules about not going into the forbidden zone, which would result in her immediate termination. She manages to navigate herself around the rules and her boss to find her prince. There is a lot more twists in this story than I was expecting and was pleasantly surprised! There is a "feud" against The Mouse that plays a key role in the story that I quite enjoyed.

I really liked Zoe's character. She was smart and was able to figure out her how to deal with what is supposed to be one of the hardest jobs at the park all the while she supports her cousin's quest to become a princess (which is the most sought after job at the park). Alas Zoe is like many YA main character's and falls for guys fairly easily. This causes her some bumps in the road but in the end she has a good head on her shoulders that helps her out in the end.

If you are a fan of contemporaries or summer books I recommended adding this to your summer reading list, this is totally a beach read (and it was published straight to paperback!)
