HENRY IS EVERYTHING!!! This book😭 I loved it so much!! I love the subtle nods to his nuerodivergence. I have never felt so seen or understood through a characters eyes. The writing was so fun and fluid and made the book easy to fly through. I’m obsessed and will continue to recommend this series. In my opinion each book has been better than the last!

This was probably my favorite of the Maple Hills books! I thought the characters were lovable and fun to read. It's total brain candy for me, nothing is that serious and it reads a little like YA, but I enjoy reading it. Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books for this ARC!

Hannah Grace’s Daydream is a delightful escape into a world of vibrant characters and heartfelt moments. The writing is lyrical, painting vivid imagery that pulls you right into the story. I loved the way Grace explores themes of love, self-discovery, and the importance of chasing dreams.

The characters are well-developed and relatable, each with their own struggles and triumphs. I particularly enjoyed the dynamic between the main characters, which felt authentic and engaging. While the pacing was a bit slow in parts, the emotional payoff was worth the wait.

Overall, Daydream is a charming read that will leave you feeling uplifted and inspired. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a sweet and introspective romance.

This one had a little bit less going on plot-wise than the other books in the series, and it does a lot of the Dating for Practice trope that I hate, but luckily that pretense goes away relatively quickly and it ends up being pretty straightforward. I liked Halle and Henry fine, but readers should know that this one has a LOT less sexual content than the other books in the series.

I hate how many FEELINGS Henry and Halle put me through. I HATE HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS.

Maybe it's the (diagnosed) ADHD and anxiety, maybe it's the (undiagnosed) autism, maybe it's the burnt out people pleasing fix everything so everyone else is fine even though I am definitely not fine eldest daughter, in me, but I damn near sobbed reading this one and I will throw this book at the head of everyone I know and love. Lovingly, of course. :)

liked not loved but that’s just me!!! this felt very mature and healthy which is wonderful but it just seemed a tad lacking in the intrigue with no real big dilemmas other than those in their separate personal lives - does this make me toxic?????

Something about Hannah Grace's books just really click with me! As an infrequent romance book reader, I eat the Maple Hills series right up.

I found Henry and Halle's story to be very cute, although it felt a bit unrelatable to me (not the same experience of ADHD or neurodivergence), but I did find it enjoyable and easy to read. I love that Hannah Grace doesn't feel this need to label and diagnose all her characters, and recognizes how many people on average live undiagnosed and spend their lives creating coping strategies and ways of living that work for them, so I found many things I could appreciate, in general.

One of the challenges that I find as this series continues is the amount of storylines there are to cover - they're trying to simultaneously introduce and flesh out this new relationship plot while catching you up with cameo after cameo of old characters and where they're at, while also hinting and developing future connections and main plots of future books. While I do think it accurately reflects the hustle and transient nature of college life, it's a little bit confusing for me to step foot into in the context of a book series.

Overall, I enjoyed this one and, of course, will continue to read the series as it's published! Thank you so much to the publisher for both the print and e-copies of this one. :) 3.5 stars!

Loved their relationship and how this book dealt with more sensitive subjects! I loved this whole series so far and this book did not disappoint. It is my favorite of the series now!

As always thank you net galley and publisher for a copy !

Daydream follows Halle, the eldest daughter with no experience and can never say no to anyone, and Henry, hockey team captain and his struggle with passing one class. The two meet at the introductory meeting for her book club, while he's trying to find good on leadership. The pair end up seeing each other again at a party and that when things take off.

Out of all three of the maple hills series I enjoyed this one the most. Both characters were so fleshed out, and it felt like their ends were made just for them. In the authors note it said that here wouldn't be a diagnosis for Henry and I feel like that was the best option. It was really nice to have representation that wasn't deeply rooted into find what the issue was. It was also really refreshing to have a female main character who was still aware of what she wanted and wasn't thrown into being a sex crazed person immediately.

The way the characters interacted with each other fully warmed my heart. They were so caring and compassionate to each other while also trying to keep control of themselves. There are slip ups and they start to learn more about who they want to be as time goes on, but the entire book was just so sweet and amazing.

Hannah Grace is quickly becoming the queen of college age rom-coms. This was a heartwarming story of two characters who come together, despite their own personal struggles. It’s also great reading about neurodivergent characters and seeing the world through their thoughts. If you’re looking for some feel good fluff, this is the book for you.

Absolutely adorable. This might be my favorite of the series. Henry and Halle follow a very similar storyline to Nate and Stasi. The opposites who mutually need each other to achieve a goal. These 2 just so perfectly fit and I'm sad we didn't get a down the road follow-up in the same way we did with Icebreaker or Wildfire.

I know it may seem like a small thing, but I am extremely thankful for Hannah Grace's foreword about Henry. As someone who also struggled without a diagnosis, seeing someone face many of the same issues without knowing why was gratifying.

This book was perfection, but what else could I expect of Hannah Grace and of a book about Henry!?
Although neither MC is diagnosed neurodivergent I felt extremely seen by both which made the story that much more dear to me. It was funny and sweet and emotional and I just want more!

Hannah Grace, I adore you.

Daydream is currently sitting pretty in my number one Romance spot. This book is everything you never knew you needed wrapped up within 448 pages. This is the third book in the Maple Hill Series, and although it could be read as a standalone, why would you want to ? Both Wildfire and IceBreaker were 5 star reads!

Daydream follows along with heart throb and fan favorite, Henry and introduces Halle. I absolutely LOVED Halle and was eager to witness these two fall in love.

This book is light and fluffy and a total "feel good romance" .

Check out this teaser :


When his procrastination lands him in a difficult class with his least favorite professor, Henry Turner knows he’s going to have to work extra hard to survive his junior year of college. And now with his new title of captain for the hockey team—which he didn’t even want—Henry absolutely cannot fail. Enter Halle Jacobs, a fellow junior who finds herself befriended by Henry when he accidentally crashes her book club.

Halle may not have the romantic pursuits of her favorite fictional leads, but she’s an academic superstar, and as soon as she hears about Henry’s problems with his class reading material, she offers to help. Too bad being a private tutor isn’t exactly ideal given her own studies, job, book club, and the novel she’s trying to write. But new experiences are the key to beating her writer’s block, and Henry’s promising to be the one to give them to her.

They just need to stick to their rule book.

Oh, and not fall in love.

The book beautifully explores themes of vulnerability, self-discovery, and the magic of serendipity. With a perfect blend of humor and emotion (with banter that I loved), "Daydream" is a feel-good read that leaves you smiling long after you've turned the last page. Fans of contemporary romance will find this story a refreshing escape into a world of love and dreams. Another hit by Hannah Grace

Henry and Halle have such a wonderful love story! Halle was such a kindhearted FMC and Henry was so fun to read as well

I loveeeed this, it was so cute! I saw a lot of myself in Halle and the fear of never finding someone you're genuinely attracted to/interested in, so I found the love story very sweet and affirming. I would definitely read anything else Hannah puts out!

Hannah Grace's *Daydream* is a heartfelt and engaging romance that offers readers a refreshing escape into the lives of complex and relatable characters. Known for her ability to craft stories that balance humor, emotion, and tension, Grace doesn't disappoint with this latest offering.

The story follows a well-paced narrative that weaves together the romance of two individuals who are wrestling with their pasts while trying to navigate their uncertain futures. What makes *Daydream* particularly appealing is its focus on character growth. Both protagonists are multifaceted, with their own personal struggles, and their chemistry feels natural and compelling. Grace’s ability to write believable, slow-burn relationships ensures that the reader is invested in the characters’ journey from the start.

The setting itself is like a character—vividly described, with atmospheric details that transport the reader into the dreamy, sun-drenched world where the story unfolds. Grace’s writing style is accessible, often laced with wit, and her dialogue is sharp and authentic.

However, the novel is more than just a love story. It touches on deeper themes such as self-discovery, healing from past trauma, and the importance of trusting oneself and others. These layers add depth to the narrative, making *Daydream* a more substantial read than one might initially expect from the romance genre.

That said, some readers may find the pacing in the middle a bit slower, with the emotional buildup taking its time to fully develop. However, for those who enjoy a deep emotional connection and a story that allows characters to grow organically, this will likely not be an issue.

In conclusion, *Daydream* by Hannah Grace is an emotionally rich, satisfying romance that delivers on both heart and depth. Fans of contemporary romance will find much to love in this uplifting and beautifully written novel.

I absolutely ADORED this book. I may be slightly biased as I am also a Taylor swift loving eldest daughter named Hallie just like the main character, but this book was so well written and I could not put it down. I just loved Halle and Henry so so much and Hannah Grace writes the sweetest and healthiest relationships that I just can’t get enough of.

The third book in the Maple Hills series features new hockey captain Henry and bookish Halle. Halle is an over-achiever, getting good grades, while holding a job at the bookstore where she runs book club and also trying to write her own book. Henry is a reluctant captain, struggling with his leadership role and failing his art class when Halle steps in to tutor him. But Halle already has a full schedule and soon reaches a point where something has to give.

I found this book to be much more focused the development of Halle and Henry as individual characters while the development of their romance was a side story. However, I like how HG always gives great examples of getting consent throughout all sexual encounters. This can be read as a stand-alone but it is probably best if readers read the books in order to understand the character development of side characters in this title.

Overall: 4/5
Spice: 1.5/5

I have been looking forward to Henry’s story since I started reading the Marple Hills books. I was not disappointed because I learned so much about him and I feel that Halle was the perfect match for him. I relate to Halle’s character so much because I’m 💯 a people pleaser to my detriment sometimes. I will say I’ve learned to stand on my own to feet running a department especially when it comes to ensuring that my department is running smoothly but for the most part, that is still a big part of who I am. I do feel like this was my least favorite of her books so far (sadly) but because I felt that it was a little more discombobulated but I wonder if that was done intentionally because of Henry’s neurodiversity. Both characters are definitely introverts but they bring out the best in each other and a lot of other people as well. I also absolutely abhorred Halle’s ex and her family’s need to have them still be together…UGH absolute disgust of a man that says things like that to other men. I know men talk but that was absolutely distasteful. One last thing, that scene with the paint was 🥵!!!!!
