Forever, We Dream by Michael workman is a heart book about Bellamona, Eliana, and Gabrianna three very talented seamstresses, singers, students, and conjoined triplets. it’s the 1970s so they’re also big fans of the Bee Gees. They do well at school with constantly get tease by Twila Violet, another teen singer who leads the band empress. they’re also missing their mother Catherine, who left them when they were babies and have been looking for her ever since but is definitely loved by their overprotective father Benson. One night after sneaking out to go see a band called Boogie Child, the lead singer gets arrested, and this is when the triplets take his place and are asks to join the band on a new talent show.

I really enjoyed this book and although I am not a big fan of any story where a parent abandoned a child the story really hit a lot more going on than just that and I really enjoyed it. I listened to the audiobook narrated by. Candace Joyce who did a wonderful job. If you love great warm hearted books that definitely has that 70s feel you will definitely enjoy this one. I certainly did. #NetGalley, #BertitoBooks, #MichaelWorkman, #CandaceJoyce, #ForeverWeDream,

This heart warming story tells the story of three talented identical conjoined triplets who enter a national singing contest to try and find their mother.. The narration add real emotion to the story as although the plot is quite simple in the main it covers complex issues including being different, bullying, absent parents, serious illness and trying to accept your life but daring to hope your dreams might be possible. This was a quick listen with a good pace plot. The twists and meanings at the end were worth the wait. The story was filled with hidden meaning and good side characters and the competition was just a backdrop for the story. The triplets were treated as individuals and their traits on full display. I found the ending surprising and a tad predictable. Also the majority of the story was the build up and the competition. The ending felt rushed and over too quickly like it was put in before the word count allowed ended. I did really enjoy this but was just disappointed by the way the end was over too quickly. Thank you netgallery , publisher, author and narrator for this 4 star listen (rounded up). This is perfect for anyone who loves a heart warming story that could be a reality.

I listened to the audiobook of Forever We Dream by Mark Workman, and the narration was fantastic—it added so much depth to the story. The book felt incredibly real, in a way that's hard to describe, but it was told so well that I couldn't help but be drawn in.

The book tells the story of three conjoined triplets with a deep love for music. Their talent as musicians shines, but they face ridicule for their differences. the story is about self-discovery and embracing who you are, but there’s so much more woven into it.

I enjoyed listening to this book. The characters were all very likeable and the story was uplifting. I really liked the twist and didn’t see it coming at all.

I got this audiobook through NetGalley. Thank you for the opportunity.

It tells the story of multitalented conjoined triplets who enter a singing competition, shooting star, to find their mother who has abandoned them when they were babies. For that, they have to lie to their overprotective super busy father.

They join forces with a band of brothers who have lost their singer and are in the competition to make mother happy.

They face a ruthless bully rival Twyla-Violet who uses every means to win.

The shooting star director is power hungry and only cares about the show’s rating. He thinks conjoined triplets cannot be the winner.

These are some of the obstacles on their way. They unearth a lot of secrets on their journey to find their mother.

The audio narrative is good, very emotional, good characterization and makes it easy to get lost in the story.

The cover is too dark, I thought it would be a Cold War book in 1970s, which I like. For this story I would expect a more bubbly colorful cover that matches the story.

The conjoined triplet are portrayed as normal sisters. I wanted the story to go deeper into their lives, and show their challenges. How is their health, how do they sleep, go to bathroom, take shower or bathe or sit or write? How do they feel about it? Their only challenge was being bullied and nothing about being conjoined triplets was offered except how they look.

It is a book about a reality show, and is written that way. Reader gets the camera view of the characters, it stays on the surface, no diving into story or characters.

Characters are cliche, rich people bad, bookish nerds good. They have the same voice. Instead of going deep into characters and understanding them, characters psycho analyze each other and explain each other’s actions.

I didn’t understand the shooting star program, it sounded like a national competition but it had only local contestants and did not audition in other cities. The judges would determine the winner but the winner thanked America for making them their shooting star!

I give it 3 stars, it has is a good story with enough challenges to be interesting and enjoyable. If told differently, it would be a shooting star.
