Dream State is a buzzy book right now. Kind of Franzen-like, but not quite as deep, or as captivating, but pretty good none-the-less. CeCe, Garrett, and Charlie are tied in a knot of their own creating. Needy, idealistic, and all somewhat selfish, they are interesting, but not totally believable or likeable. I was in the mood for a big messy family story, so I enjoyed this novel. On another day, it may have had too many loose ends and holes.
