Thank you Netgalley! This book is amazing! Henry and Halle are beautiful characters! The ups and downs are so relatable. Our library will definitely get this book! Hannah Grace fans will definitely enjoy this book!

My daughter devoured this book and has loved this series so it definitely hits the mark with the 18+ crowd! Another good story and entertaining read. I liked this the bets of this series so far and I really enjoyed the characters!

For a book titled Daydream, the gentleness of this story absolutely fits. It still has Grace's signature humor and open-door sexual content, as well as the cast of characters we've gotten to know over the past 2 books in the series, but this one is decidedly more tender and soft than the previous books. And for me, that was absolutely a good thing. Additionally, as someone who is neurodivergent, I really appreciated both the way Grace portrayed Henry's own struggles but also how she did not feel the need to label it, just to describe in empathetic detail what it's like. And as someone who is also a chronic people pleaser--I'm pretty sure Halle is the other half of my brain. I still won't say NA and sports romances are my thing, but you've got me, Hannah Grace. You've got me good. :)

Thank you to Netgalley and Atria Books for the ebook ARC. All opinions are mine alone.

Honestly just wow. I loved this one so much, and I genuinely didn’t know if anything could top Aurora and Russ but halle and henry really really did!!!!! There is so many things I love about hannah grace books and one of them being the found familyness!!!!! I just am obsessed with reading about these best friends and how funny they are and how much they show up for each other.

Halle is literally me. I could hardly even stand reading about her sometimes bc I was like oh:/ I’m getting actually jumped rn. I love her so much. I wish she was real so bad. Henry was everything to me. SOOOO funny, so perfect. He cared about halle so much it physically hurt me.

This book was just so good to me. So fun, and such a good overall theme of self love + self care. And allowing your people to show!!! up!!!! for you!!!! I had so much fun, and my only SLIGHT beef is the length. I felt like it could’ve been a bit shorter but I still loved every page. Over 150 highlights am I okay????

Thank you sm atria for the arc I just LOVE you

This was a cute story. I liked the characters. I feel like they had realistic character development. I hadn't read the two previous books in the series, but I didn't feel like that effected me much in understanding the story. The funny thing is, I went to read the first book in the series, and I did not enjoy it at all- so I guess I'm glad I read this one first!

Loved the characters in this but dialogue sometimes felt robotic. Their relationship was beautiful but felt almost too perfect to the point where I didn’t feel any conflict coming that would keep me interested.

After reading Wildfire, I was a little apprehensive to pick up Daydream. Turns out, I totally loved it. I think I liked this more than Icebreaker? But that very well could be for personal reasons.

These two characters were relatable on so many levels. Halle and her people pleasing (I feel that so much) and Henry and his spirling. While I adored Henry with everyone else in Icebreaker, I have to admit I didn't see how a book with his story would work. So Hannah Grace came in hot to prove me all the way wrong. Henry is truly unlike any other book boyfriend I've read in all the best ways.

Two things I loved most about this book:
1. The third act conflic was thankfully not super dramatic and didn't make me all that anxious, which I feel like authors are so prone to do anymore.
2. Thank you for just finishing the book and not adding an epilogue or bonus chapters. That might be my favorite part of all.

This is an absolute must read for anyone who loves a cozy romance in which the stakes aren't too high, and for those who fell for Russ in Icebreaker like I did.

Thank you to Atria Books and Netgalley for the advanced audiobook. All opinions are my own.

This was a pretty solid romance. I really enjoyed the dynamic between the couple, but I did think that for a bunch of 20 year olds they used a lot of therapy-speak. I do wish it was a bit more subtle in that regard. I felt like it had a hard time balancing the realities of what 20 year olds and fully developed adults experience and think. I do also think it’s a bit hard to follow if you haven’t read the other books. So many characters, I had a hard time keeping up.

This one was my favorite of Hannah's UCMH series! I loved how sweet the two characters were with one another, and the story itself was feel good and lovely.

Thank you to Atria Books for this digital ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I've been waiting for this one! <3 Henry is finally getting his story. I'm so happy to see the Maple Hills series continue to grow because I love these characters.

The author's note at the start of the book made me even more excited for Henry's story because Hannah's love for her characters leaps from the page. Her writing is so deeply connected to her own feelings but it allows for you welcome each character and embrace every quirk and flaw as you go through the story.

Henry and Halle are the quirkiest of her characters this far in the series. I loved their slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance. I especially loved the open communication of their needs and boundaries and how they continue to work on themselves and form meaningful relationships. Halle has a long history of people please and never saying no (honestly... same). Her overbearing mother has always dumped much of her parenting responsibilities on Halle to keep herself from being too overwhelmed and Halle just takes it on in stride. I was honestly waiting for Halle to finally snap and explode on her mother. It was so satisfying to see her finally stand up for herself in the end and also see her mom respect where she's coming from.

Halle's ex, Will, is such a piece of shit. He has spent YEARs gaslighting her and deflating her confidence. Making Halle thing so little of herself she thinks she needs to do things for other in order for people to want her around. He confidence is at an all time low at the start of the book. When he pressured her for sex and she wasn't ready, so he dumped her, I wanted to scream at him through the pages. But honestly, good riddance. I am so happy that she finally freed herself of the dead weight he was and to finally find friends who are truly in her corner and love her for who she is and not what she can do for them.

Oh, Henry. Throughout the entirety of the series, Henry has been an absolute sweetie pie. I have always loved his friendship with Stassie. He is neurodivergent (undiagnosed) and struggles with filtering his thoughts, lest they come out the wrong way and offend someone or hurt one of his friend's feelings. He also struggles with sound overwhelming him. When he gets overwhelmed, he tends to need to shut out the world. This is, of course, a quick simplification. I love how his friends understand his needs and give him the space and time that he needs, while also pushing him towards things they think he's capable of. **Balance** And Halle just fits right into that with ease. From highlighting his articles to just the pertinent information to gifting him noise reduction plugs to be able to go out with friends, and noise cancelling headphones to study.

I love the universe that Hannah has created in the Maple Hills series. The relationships and friendships are so wholesome. I'd love to see JJ with a book next!

This is the third book in the Maple Hills Trilogy, and while I did not enjoy it as much as book #2, this one is worthy of a read.

I find that the characters in this series of books don't sound so much like young 20 year-olds, and are a little more mature than they should be. Perhaps that is the point of the story; but in that sense the book seemed slightly off. While I enjoyed it, much of it didn't ring true for me, but I was able to put that aside and focus on the story and the characters. Worth a read if you are a fan of the other books in the series.

I absolutely loved this book!! I’ve been so excited for this characters own book for years and it did not disappoint! The cover was very aesthetically pleasing and can’t wait to buy my own copy to have on my shelf!

I have never read Hannah Grace before, but I’ve always heard wonderful reviews about her previous books. I had high hopes for my first book, but unfortunately it didn’t meet my expectations. I couldn’t get past the almost robotic dialogue. Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

After loving icebreaker, both wildfire and this book were just ehhh. I really wanted to like the book as I love both of the characters involved but it just fell a little short for me.

HALLE AND HENRY 🥰🥰🥰 Absolutely adored this book...definitely my favourite in the series so far.
Swifties will love this....so many easter eggs to catch (look at Halle's outfit on the front cover...enough said).
You'll be kicking your feet, giggling, smiling, and blushing the whole way through.

A perfect fit for readers who enjoy heartwarming, lighthearted romance stories that celebrate the importance of self-discovery, chosen family, and putting one's own needs first, with a dash of humor and wit.

This was my favorite of the Maple Hills series so far. I found Henry and Halle to be much more likable than some of the other characters. This is a sweet story and I recommend it.

People are counting on Henry to succeed - he's the captain of the hocky team and he has an example to set. Unfortunately, he didn't withdraw from a very difficult class and now he's stuck taking a class with a professor whose expectations are unclear to Henry. Henry cannot fail this class, so it's very lucky that he meets Halle, who is a chronic people pleaser and has taken classes with that professor before. Halle definitely gets something out of the deal, too - she's trying to write a novel but she lacks "real-life" experiences because she doesn't have a lot of friends, and her relationship with her ex was mediocre at best and in reality exceptionally toxic. Henry and Halle agree to a set of rules and become friends, and then more, very quickly. Henry and Halle have a rule not to fall in love, but rules are meant to be broken.

Henry is THE peak man, honestly. Halle is adorable, and I thoroughly enjoyed their relationship and friendship. Watching Halle make friends with Henry's friends was so sweet. There are a lot of people who won't ever get/want/need a diagnosis, so I appreciate why the author chose not to give Henry a diagnosis. However, I found it hard to believe that his mother, who is a doctor, would not seek a diagnoses. Halle and Henry had such different things to worry about, but their support of each other and understanding of each others' needs was lovely to read about.

I didn't read Wildfire, but I understood everything that was happening in Daydream, and this was my favorite of the two that I read. My library has ordered four copies already!

Anticipated but a bit of a letdown on the plotting - still trying to reach the highs of her first - would've appreciated a bit more editing and tightening up of some of the reasoning behind characters' actions.

I've been looking forward to reading the latest book in Grace's series all year! Henry is Lakeside U's newest captain, and, if he's being honest, he doesn't love the pressure that comes with the title of "leader." Halle is trying to write her first novel in time to submit it to a contest that will win her a summer internship. The two connect when Halle agrees to tutor Henry through his difficult professor's course. In exchange, Henry agrees to take her out on real dates to give her writing material.
Much more wholesome than the other books in Grace's series, the story was just as easy to root for. Already looking forward to the next one!
