This book is about Halle and Henry!! It is dual point of view which I loved getting to read both sides!! Halle is a people pleaser with no friends and Henry is a popular hockey player! I don’t want to give any spoilers and ruin the book for fans of Hannah Grace but I will say if you enjoyed Ice Breaker or Wild Fire you will enjoy this book!! I highly reccomend Hannah Grace to anyone who loves romance books!! Preorder it now!!
Thank you NetGalley for providing me the opportunity out to read this book!!

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have not read the last two Hannah Grace books, and I don't think I'm quite the target audience for this kind of romance (I'm 37, and I believe the target audience skews younger).

But I would recommend this book to any 17-30 year olds in my life who enjoyed romance. The themes of taking care of yourself, accepting help from others, and letting go of burdens that you don't need to carry are very important, and it was cool to see them presented in a romance book.

I wasn't a big fan of the meet-cute, and felt like it lacked authenticity and interest. But once the FMC and MMC were a couple I was more interested.

The sex in the book was pretty steamy and well written without being cringe-y. Another plus.

4 stars in general, although the book was more of a 3 star for me personally.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

”Daydream” is the 3rd book in the Maple Hills series however it can be read as a standalone. This book centres around Halle and Henry. The characters were relatable and I found myself wanting to read more and more about them. The plot moved forward at a good pace to keep interest.

I really enjoyed this book.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me an arc of Daydream. I love learning things about people. Neurodivergent is a new term to me that I feel like I should know being in education. I love also being reminded that we don’t know what everyone is going through, so communicating and trying to understand people’s motives is important.

Halle did an amazing job of working to understand Henry, and Henry worked to not take advantage of her like so many others did in her life. TBH, I enjoyed Icebreaker, and loved Wildfire, and this one did not let me down either. The storyline was very different from her other ones, which shows true talent. Loved Henry because now I understand him. I laughed out loud with some of the banter, and smiled so big with some of the sweet comments to each other.

Excellent book! Thank you and looking forward to the next Hannah Grace!

Hannah Grace the woman that you are. I ate this book UP! I have loved Henry since I read Icebreaker. So I was incredibly excited when I saw that Daydream was going to be Henry’s story. Then, when I saw that it was dedicated to eldest daughters, I assumed I would love Halle too (I did). It was refreshing to be rooting for characters so hard both as individuals, and in their romance. Daydream’s tropes are not traditionally my favorite but the book is so well written that it didn’t even matter. If you have not read Icebreaker and Wildfire yet STOP and do that first. While it is *technically* a stand alone, there are a lot (!) of characters and it makes it much easier to follow if you know the background when all the names start dropping. While none of the characters get labels, Henry definitely has ADHD (+more) which leads him to struggle with his grades which is unacceptable as he is the captain of the hockey team. Enter Halle, a great tutor due to her history of helping her younger sister (diagnosed with ADHD) through her classes. Henry gets it into his head that he cannot accept Halle’s help without offering her something in return. As luck would have it, Halle does in fact need help with something- experience. She teaches him school, he teaches her relationships; luckily, that trope does not last long as our characters are excellent communicators. What we have instead is a friends to lovers storyline full of self discovery, growth, and as I mentioned earlier, excellent communication. You can expect typical Hannah Grace in the heat. But with a more well rounded plot than Icebreaker, and the most relatable (to me) characters yet, Daydream was by far my favorite out of the three.

Such a good book! It was funny, heartwarming and very relatable. I was unable to put down the book, it was a thoroughly entertaining book. It also felt really realistic which was very refreshing.

I will read anything that Hannah Grace writes, this one is by far my favourite of hers!

"Daydream" is the third book in Hannah Grace's "Maple Hills" series. This book centers around Halle, an aspiring author who is trying to learn how to stand up for herself and develop healthy relationships. Halle meets Henry, a hockey superstar who needs help with his college work. Henry has some issues of his own that need to be worked through. While the two of them get closer and closer, they also learn how to provide what the other needs and surprise themselves by falling in love.

I really appreciated how sweet and tender the relationship between the two of them was, and how patient and loving they are towards each other while also having hot chemistry. The two of them are easy to root for, and you want the best for the two of them. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

I was SO excited to be given a copy of this ARC and it's easily my favorite out of the Maple Hills trilogy!

Enter Halle, getting dumped on the first page...but she was never really interested in the guy anyway? So she decides to take her grandma-chic self and invest her time into her part time jobs, book club, and tutoring her new friend, Henry. He's cute, sweet, and everything you could want in a guy! They had incredibly chemistry and Grace did an amazing job of sprinkling just the right amount of spice that didn't take away from a well-developed storyline. I can't emphasize my love for this story enough!!

I really enjoyed the character development and diversity, and I especially loved Grace's forward explaining how/why she didn't necessarily have any labels for her characters. I think she did a wonderful job with inclusivity while still making it accessible and relatable for various audiences. I can NOT wait for another novel like this - thanks so much for this ARC!!

Hannah Grace brings us back to Maple Hills with Halle and Henry's story. This one strikes me different in a positive way. I like the complexity of the characters but also their connection. Hannah has a lovely writing style and brings her books to life.

Thank you NetGalley for an arc of Daydream by Hannah Grace

Hannah Grace is one of those authors for me that is always going to be an “auto buy.” Even though I am almost 10 years past my college graduation (lol what), I still relate to and remember how much of an INFERNO young love was and how wild it felt to navigate this love while discovering who you are. I feel like Hannah Grace does an amazing job of this.

In reading Daydream, I’ve come to realize that her books just keep getting better as she goes. Admittedly, I did not care for Icebreaker, but the next two books in the series were so much more fun and less juvenile.

What I really loved about this book was the very realistic depiction of ADHD we see in our main character, Henry. As someone who has anxiety, a diagnosis that has overlaps with ADHD, I really appreciated the representation of the very real struggles that people with ADHD and anxious thoughts face. And I love that Halle not only accepted his diagnosis, but supported him through it.

This is my favorite Hannah Grace book yet and I’m so happy I got to read it early. Thank you!

Daydream
Rating: 5/5⭐️
Recommended: Yes!
This was by far my favorite book by Hannah Grace so far! I loved Icebreaker and Wildfire, but I really connected with Henry and Halle's story. I appreciate the neurodivergent representation in this book. Hannah Grace chose to not give Henry a formal diagnosis or label, which I think aligns with a lot of people who receive late-life diagnoses. The book felt very authentic and I highly recommend!

Oh, Hannah. Why do you always write characters that grab my heart and pull it from my chest. I resonated with SO MANY of both Halle's and Henry's struggles.

I would definitely say this is a slower burn than the rest of Maple Hills, and the characters felt younger to me. I'd use the word "wholesome" more than I would for the other novels. Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed being back in Maple Hills, with characters who have begun to feel like friends. And these two are the DEFINITION of healthy communication. And and I LOVED seeing Henry get his HEA.

I loved this book - definitely my favorite in the series. Henry and Halle compliment each other so well - and I love their journeys of self-acceptance and love. Hannah Grace handled some very sensitive topics with care and shared some beautifully flawed characters - such a delight to read! I love Henry's strong male friends and their bonds with each other - so refreshing to see male characters who made space for their friends emotions and held them accountable for working through their "stuff." Overall, this story was full of heart, emotion, and a palpable realness that stayed with me long after the book was finished. Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

OMG how much I loved this book! Daydream by Hannah Grace is the third installment of the Maple Hills universe (following Icebreaker and Wildfire). Daydream follows Henry and Halle, who are now two of my all time favorite characters. Halle is suffering from eldest daughter problems (I felt so seen reading her struggles and perspective) and Henry is struggling with boundaries and figuring out what he wants. I loved how much they support each other and put each other first throughout their courtship! I also loved that we got to see how Nate and Stassie and Aurora and Russ are doing!
The only part of the book I didn't love was I felt like Will didn't suffer enough!

I LOVED this book. It was really no surprise given how much I love this series. But when I tell you how excited I was to receive it and how I haven’t stopped talking or thinking about it the entire time, I’m not exaggerating. We all knew and loved Henry through the last two books, but getting to be in his head and meeting Halle and seeing them fall in love was so sweet. I swooned, I giggled, I cried, I had such a great time. Thank you Atria and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book early.

hannah grace is getting better at writing and im excited to see the development. ate this book up and i love my baby boy henry

Hannah Grace truly outdid herself with this one! She begins with a beautiful, heartfelt letter to the readers that instantly captured my heart (as if I wasn't already thrilled to receive this ARC). Right away, you can sense how much Hannah has developed in her writing. This book was a delightful continuation of the series, yet it also stood perfectly on its own.
Both Halle and Henry had such patience and understanding towards each other, it was so sweet to read. Huge thanks to Netgalley for the ARC🤍

I fear this is Hannah Grace's best work to date because she has truly outdone herself. From the Taylor Swift mentions/references to the raw reality of being an undiagnosed individual in this day and age..

I truly felt seen by both Halle and Henry. Henry for the way he functions and struggles. Halle for her people-pleaser 'family-manager' ways.

'Daydream' is more than just a book, it is a representation of what it is to be a human.

Gosh, there is so much I loved about this book! I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to read Henry's story. I enjoy a "I'll help you, you help me but we won't develop feelings" storyline, where I can sit back and enjoy the slow burn chemistry that develops between characters! Henry is surrounded by amazing friends and I liked the fact that Halle was introduced as his friend first, and not a fling. Hannah Grace brilliantly wrote Henry and I can definitely relate to how he manages every day things/feelings. She is genius in sucking us I to their world and feeling all the feels with Henry and Halle. Favourite line in the entire book is when Halle opens the package from Henry at the airport: "This might be my favorite romance book, but we're my favorite love story." I pre-ordered this book months ago, but am honored that I got an ARC and was able to read it early. Get your hands on this book and dive in to Henry and Halle's love story!

I received a complimentary ecopy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.Thank you Netgalley, Atria Books and Hannah Grace.

Thank you Netgalley and Atria for this ARC! I'm a big fan of the series as is, I was super thankful when i received it.
Halle and Henry are so precious! I loved the depth not only in the story but the characters as well. It was Sweet, sad, giddy ,funny, patient, vulnerable and a whole lot of other things <3 I really enjoyed this read and I hope others do too!
This was beautifully written and i cant wait to see what happens next in the Maple Hills universe!
