About the book:
Sweet New Adult Contemporary Romance Novelette
There's no rest for the fearful.

And with their arrival, her lifelong fear morphs into a full-fledged panic that steals her sleep--and her peace of mind.
Keegan knows all about fear. When he meets Ava at the coffee shop where he works, he can't help but come to her rescue. Together with his German shepherds, Sun and Moon, he sets out to break the "curse" that hovers over Tired Girl. But is it possible to conquer nightmares and live a dream while you're awake?
This sweet novelette is a contemporary re-imagining of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale that sheds light on the worries that bind us and the love that leads to peace.

My thoughts:
While You're Awake was a super fun and sweet read! The character's extreme fear of bees was humorous at times, but I also couldn't help but feel for her because her fear controlled her life so much and made her lose sleep.
The romance was nice and I liked the ending...For a short book, it ended well. :) I also loved the dogs and how energetic Moon was. ;)
All in all, I loved this short read. It was fun and quick to read.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. ~ Philippians 4:8
