An intriguing concept but while lots of dreamtime depicted-  I just didn’t have any aha moments. Mostly it was anecdotes with little plot to pull me in. Author could have fleshed out how the whole transacting dreams happened but I guess that wasn’t the point-  still would have added more psychological depth. It was sweet,  but main character just felt too innocent and superficial for me.  Read more like a middle grade or YA book. Translation seemed well done and fun to see how she interpreted Korean idioms into English.
