The Reverie is written well enough and it uses an interesting narrative tool.
Neither of those qualities is near enough to save it from a boring, long-winded plot and pointless scenes. Really, it could have been a novella and not lost anything.
This book was received, free of charge, from the Goodreads First Reads program.
