Dream Girl by S. J. Lomas

This is a richly imagined fantasy novel for teens.  The dual narration gives the reader answers to questions that arise when reading a first-person point of view, and also gives insight to each protagonist. 

The characters leave a bit to be desired, I think.  They're a bit too flat, though they are written well.  The dialog is stilted and formal at times, too.  Given those issues, though, I did like this story. 
Christine and Gabriel give the reader two sides of a story that makes a couple of turns that the reader can't see coming.  I will definitely be watching out for a sequel.
