Every night Waverly Camdendar is running in the dream world in outer space.
At day she leads her normal life at high school. She feels more and more like her life only exists of school, the student council she's involved in and GPA's. She is missing something in her life, and then she meets Marshall.
Marshall Holt is one of the bad guys. He is a heavy drinker and doesn't care what anyone thinks of his bad behaviour. At school. he jas bad grades and not graduating is hanging over his head.
He drinks on school nights and gets stoned in the park. He is at risk of not graduating, he does not care, he is no one. And then he meets Waverly.
One night Waverly falls asleep and dreams herself into Marshall’s bedroom—and when the sun comes up, nothing in her life can ever be the same. In Waverly’s dreams, the rules have changed. But in her days, she’ll have to decide if it’s worth losing everything for a boy who barely exists.
I found the story of Places No One Knows quite odd and at some points it just had me totally lost any understanding of the story. I just didn't see what the point of the plot was.
The characters of Waverly and Marshall fell just flat in the story. The dream-reality part was not worked out very well. It felt just like everything was happening in the real world, I missed out when they went over from reality to the dream ''things''. It wasn't explained very clearly when the dreaming stopped and the real world began. The love story between Waverly and Marshall was nothing new. Just the usual good girl/bad guy thing, with the only special thing that they are meeting in the dream world
If the story was more clear and had a more interesting plot and main protagonists, I certainly would have liked it better, which I hoped I would. But the story was just to weak and strange.
