I think this is the most emotional book I’ve read so far in my reading career. I cried because I was sad, I cried because I was happy, I cried because I was angry, I cried because I felt free.
This story about these two was the most heartbreaking and powerful thing ever. No one really knows how to truly navigate trauma, tragedy and death. There is no rule book to follow and it’s not a one size fits all situation. What works for you won’t work for someone else. However all humans need someone to count on & hold them up when they are feeling weak & that is what both Ashlyn & Daniel did for each other.
Yes this was an age gap & he was her teacher but he was 22 & she was 19 so not much of a jump.
Their story was devastatingly beautiful one can wished to be loved as deeply & fully as they loved each other.

There's so much more going on in this story than just a romance. It's heartbreaking, happy, sad, tragic, intense...the book has it all. It made me cry out loud. I loved the characters and the story. It's just frustrating to me that the trend right now seems to be lots of "f" words and explicit sex scenes. I wish we could have the same great story while leaving out those things. There can be SOME things left to the imagination. And the "f" word is an extreme turn off to me. If I was rating the story without those things I would give it a 5+. It was actually beautiful! I loved the ending...powerful!
This book didn’t sit well with me. The characters were bland and boring and the writing was meh. I get that some of the topics in this book are heavy nd shit but I just find t connect w the characters so honestly didn’t really care what happened most the time.
The Shakespeare love and the amount of likable and relatable characters. Well done lyrics and character growth.
After losing her twin sister, Ashlyn Jennings moves to Edgewood, Wisconsin to live with her father and finish her senior year. She meets Daniel Daniels, with whom she connects in such a beautiful way over literature, music and Shakespeare. Little did she know that a few days later they would meet again in a completely different way - as Mr. Daniels, her English teacher.
Oh, my fragile, fragile heart! This story is very powerful and emotional which deals with grief, broken families, friendship and love. All the characters, including the side characters, will steal your heart immediately. They are all so real and genuine dealing with their own grief and ownership of identity. My heart broke to a million pieces and taped back up so many times while reading this. It was such a complex and beautiful love story that will stay with me forever.
“I love you slowly. I love you deeply. I love you quietly. I love you powerfully. I love you unconditionally.” - Daniel Daniels.
Note: This is a teacher/student romance with no age-gap.
I give this book

4 Loving Mr. Daniels Stars
This trope is not my favorite, but I love this author and I kept putting this book off because of the trope. But with the audiobook challenge, I thought this will make me read it.
I am so glad I did, both main characters are struggling and I think I liked that, not because they were but because they could understand each other in a way no one else could.
I did find the book to be a little too put together like everything just fell into place. There were struggles, yes but it all got wrapped up in the perfect bow and it just was a little too much. I guess I was hoping for the big boom or something and it felt like it never came.
The side characters were awesome, but then we got nothing of them in the end and I was left with questions. I guess it wasn’t all wrapped up because we are missing some of the end closure on them.
I liked the female narrator but I wasn’t a huge fan of the male, I don’t know why. I liked his tone and his dialect but I just didn’t connect and that is ok because not every narrator is for everyone.
*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

What if two people perfect for one another in every way met at a time that was imperfect in every way?
This book was really good. I now have new ideals for my perfect man. So many lines were so perfect that I made me scream!
It lost a star based on two things. The first is that it was super raunchy. If you like that then this book would probably be 5 stars for you. However it wasn’t my favorite. The other thing is that some scenes seemed eerily similar to scenes from other books I have read.
Overall I loved the characters and the in depth look on mourning and moving on throughout the book.
I would recommend this book but with the warning that it’s real raunchy at times.
*re-read 6/11/21*
Reading my old review is so cringy wow. I haven’t read this book in three years but for the year after I read it I claimed it was my favorite book. So, I don’t feel like I can take the 5 stars away even if I wouldn’t give them if I read this book now. I know I enjoyed the student teacher romance aspect originally but that mixed with the extreme depression both main characters are in I could not really get behind this romance this time. I wish I loved this more but yikes this time around.

I decided to kick off my Indie reading binge with Loving Mr. Daniels by Brittainy C. Cherry. This book has been sitting on my TBR for ages and it was time to finally read it. I knew I would love this story because Brittainy’s books never fail to hit me in the heart. Her writing is deep, emotional, and truly everything I look for in the books I read. I picked this up last night and didn’t put it down until 1 a.m. to finally sleep. Last night, Brittainy reminded me why I love reading. When I fall in book slumps, novels like this are what I’m seeking and the reason I will never stop being a reader.
Loving Mr. Daniels brought back the early Indie feels I adore and gripped me from beginning to end, exactly as I expected it to. Forbidden romances are one of my very favorite things to read because I’ve experienced my own forbidden love and am happily married to him today. This book brought back all the turbulent feelings of that time in my life and made fiction feel real. I couldn’t stop tearing through the pages to find out what would happen next, completely caught up in the emotion of the characters’ lives.
“Maybe because when hearts are set on fire, no complications can extinguish the flame.”
Before the halfway point in the story, I already had tears streaming down my face. I was overjoyed in finally finding a book to evoke emotion after what felt like months reading enjoyable books, but nothing that hit me in the deepest parts of my heart.
My favorite thing about Loving Mr. Daniels was the author’s ability in capturing the essence of being a teenager. She described the teen years in a way that took me back and made me realize exactly what I had lost by growing up. Our teenage years have a kind of magic about them that comes when we are caught between childhood and adulthood. There’s still a hopefulness that hasn’t been quashed by the cynical adult years. Everything is new and exciting, but on the flipside, heartbreaks feel worse than death.
This story was so much more than a student/teacher romance. It was about a connection between two struggling people finding solace in one another. This story featured a variety of relationships, death, suspense, heartbreak and more. I’m still struggling to figure out how this is one of Brittainy C. Cherry’s earliest works! Her masterful storytelling and incredible characters (not limited to the main characters) blows my mind. This book simply proves Brittainy is meant to be an author.
I’m disappointed it took me so long to read a book that has instantly become a favorite. I could actually flip back to the first page and start reading all over again and possibly love the story even more the second time. However, this book, as books tend to do, came to me at the perfect time. I needed to feel again and be reminded of the reason I love being a reader. I’m a fan of Brittainy C. Cherry for life!
