Description
Three voices, one dream, and a chance to uncover the truth
It’s 1978, and the glittering disco craze is sweeping across America. Identical conjoined triplets Elliana, Bellamona, and Gabriella have one shared dream: finding their mother, who vanished without a trace years ago. Singing is their only solace, and now they have a chance to take that passion to the national stage.
When they’re invited to compete in Your Shooting Star, a famous music competition, the teenage sisters see it as their chance to reunite with the woman they can’t remember but long to know. But stepping into the spotlight means facing their greatest fears. As the underdogs fight to stay in the contest, they must brave ruthless rival Twyla-Violet, a former child model determined to claim the coveted title at any cost.
While the four-round competition heats up, secrets, lies, and conspiracies threaten to tear their world apart. Can the triplets stand strong and use the power of television to reconnect with their past? Or will their dream shatter under the pressure of fame?

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.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
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.

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.
