This book is a charming addition to the Maple Hills*series, blending witty banter, academic struggles, and a slow-burn romance. Henry and Halle’s dynamic is both fun and heartfelt, with their friendship-turned-love story unfolding naturally. While some moments drag, the book club angle and character growth keep it engaging. A must-read for hockey romance fans and book lovers alike!

Thank you Atria and NetGalley for my e-ARC!

Swoony and spicy! I enjoyed the representation of Henry’s struggles with reading and Halle’s struggles with being the oldest daughter. It made them much more relatable!

While this book had everything that I loved about Icebreaker, it also had a lot of the things that I disliked about Wildfire... I love the emotional maturity and neurodivergent representation that Hannah Grace writes, but I really wanted to see more angst, tension, and plot to balance out the emotional journies the characters were on. I loved these two characters for each other, but I often found myself bored and not motivated to pick the book back up.

I loved this one! Not a spicy as Icebreaker, but I adored the friendship between the MMC & FMC and how it was so established and comfortable before they took the next steps. Some have a hard time with the little to no conflict and just overall comfort rather than pining by the MCs but I loved it for a quick and lighthearted read.

I loved Icebreaker and Wildfire and was super excited when Daydream was announced and I was lucky enough to get the book arc!

What a pretty book!! I love the honesty and the authors mention of not wanting to put a diagnosis on him prior to the book starting but hinting at ADHD/Neurodivergent.

Loved the connection and mutual benefit that the main characters offer to each other before they got together!

This fell a little flat for me. I didn’t feel like the characters were super interesting. It was a cute story, but it was missing something

I very much enjoy coming back to the world of Maple Hills. Henry and Halle, I think make such a cute couple. There were a few things about them I felt didn't make sense, like Henry being a 'playboy' and flirting with a lot of women, but also socially awkward and not good at communications. It just didn't feel like a reflection of who Henry would be but was only a plot device for Halle to be warned away from him initially. But other than that, I enjoyed all of the character interactions and the mental health representation in this book. As an oldest sister myself, I could absolutely relate to Halle and her struggles with feeling like the family manager and being so needed all of the time.

This is my favourite of the series.

Loved the diversity in this book

Loved them together. Forced proximity

“This might be my favorite romance book, but we’re my favorite love story.”

I absolutely adored Henry so much and found him very relatable. Just like the others in this series, it’s a YA adult with mature content. While I felt a connection with both main characters for different reasons, Henry truly reached out to me. One, I think we all need a Henry in our life who will call us out on our nonsense while also being the sweetest/ most considerate person ever. I mean those Christmas gifts… come on! This was a fun and quick read that I enjoyed from start to finish.

I really really enjoyed this book! I had the privilege of reading the physical and the audio and felt it only enhanced the experience. I appreciated the fact that the mc’s were respectful of each other and their needs. Absolutely recommend!

hannah grace took it upon herself to write the longest, most boring book in existence and based on the amount of naps i took, i'd say she succeeded. nothing happens in this story, it's entirely plotless and uninspired. it's literally just two people complaining about their personal issues for 500 pages.

i mean i love halle, LOVE henry!! u could bake them into a pie, they're so freaking sweet! but they are the worst main characters ever and it makes reading this book a very rough experience.

three stars tho for that damn cute ending and for the relatability factor

imma write a better review and post it on the release date but yeah, this one was better in terms of writing style but was still as convoluted and drawn out as her other books are.

I have loved each book in this series, and it seems I like each more than the last! I loved this book so much. Both of the main characters were very relatable, but Henry especially stole my heart. Henry was exactly the adorable sweetheart we were all expecting him to be after the first two books, but he was also so much more. Overall, I'm obsessed with this one.

This book was fine. Maybe my favorite of the series, but not a series I’m in love with. I thought the characters were well developed but the conflict didn’t grab me. For how spicy it was, the romance definitely held on to the “friend” vibe much longer than I wanted it to. I didn’t understand why they never really got together, or the FMCs reluctance for the label. It made it hard to root for or believe in the connection between the two of them, Overall, the pacing felt slow but it was still an enjoyable read.

I received an advance review copy for free from the publisher via Netgalley and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

What a dreamy romance this is. Our main characters fit so well together. And it was lovely seeing the main characters from the previous books. I also love the cover!

I loved this book so much! I’d recommend to readers that you read wildfire first before daydream. I’m very excited to see what the author has next in store for us, really enjoy their books!

I’ll READ ANYTHING HANNAH GRACE WRITES! This book was so fun to read. I really love the characters and the dynamic they created.
Going to need another book STAT.

SHE WROTE THIS LIKE HER RENT WAS DUE AND SHE ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT !!!! my audhd king and queen <3 hannah’s writing gets better and better each book

This is was cute! It had a ya feel bit not too childish? I enjoyed the romance and the writing vibes, and do recommend it although I probably wouldn't reread it

Best book from Hannah Grace so far! While I have enjoyed each book in the Maple Hills series so far, as the series has progressed the writing has improved. The first book "Icebreaker" gave more good time vibes and seemed to be more about the spice than plot (still a good time and valid), but now we are getting into the plots being more developed and taking center stage while still having spice. This is my personal sweet spot if you removed the spice you still have a good story, but please please please don't take my spice away, not asking for that now.
Really enjoyed Henry and Halle's aqantice to friends to lovers/fake to real dating story. Also even more loved the growth they made individually as people. Halle's girl gang is precious and fierce! Over all a hehehaha kicking feet of a good time book. Also listened to the audiobook since was late on reviewing this and enjoyed the audiobook as well.

I genuinely loved every single thing about this book! the plot: had me hooked from the first page, the characters: I loved every single one and if you love a good found family then you should definitely read this cause the friendship in the book made me want to cry. the romance: 10/10 omfg Halle and Henry have my whole heart and they need to be protected at all costs! Definitely my favorite book in the series!
