Part 1: Breaking Down The Storyline of Dream On Novel
Hollywood’s biggest star, Lexington Hall, who started his career at just three, created history by winning the youth actor award at just age eighteen. Taking the big stage, instead of a simple thank-you speech, he delivered chaos when he announced he was quitting acting in Dream on Story.
Bidding his goodbye to Hollywood, Lexington Hall ended up at Maple Creek, a small town, to start a normal life. But his fan base followed him, forcing the Hollywood jaded Badboy to escape, and doing so he caused a car accident when he rear-ended Stevie St. James’s truck.
Unlike his chaotic fan girls, Stevie couldn’t care less about this Hollywood superstar status. Instead, she called him spoiled and entitled and wanted nothing to do with him after he destroyed her truck and ruined her nice shirt right before her big moment—her school play auditions.
However, Stevie’s auditions took an unexpected turn when her partner Jameson ditched her on stage. Booed and humiliated, Stevie almost lost the lead role in the school play until Lexington Hall arrived to her rescue.
He stepped up as Stevie’s acting partner, and, given their talent and stage chemistry, the unexpected duo bagged the lead roles in school’s play, Pride & Prejudice. This was Stevie’s dream, but for Lexington it was an unwanted amateur play.
So to convince the Hollywood star, Stevie offered a spare bedroom on her farm so he could escape his crazy fan base and find a normal life. As Lexington moved in with Stevie and began working close as her acting partner, love happened. For the first time in his life, he was just Lex and not some Hollywood star as they opened up about their pasts, their traumas, and more.
However, Stevie & Lexington’s high school romance was shattered when Veronica Hall tracked her son at Maple Creek. She was an ambitious and vicious mother and agent of Lexington. Instead of caring for her son and his true interest, she had used him as a pawn to achieve fame and success in Hollywood in the Dream On novel.
Though Lexington was unwilling to return to LA, Veronica Hall threatened to ruin his life as well as Stevie, the theater nerd and a simple but resilient farm girl who had won the Hollywood star’s heart.
Treating Stevie as a farm gold digger, Veronica Hall used Lex’s love to control his life and drag him back to Hollywood, forcing him to break Stevie’s heart. But when life throws a second chance, Stevie & Lexington Hall find their way back to each other in an enticing fake dating arrangement that only reignites their high school love.
