Wow. Daydream was such a gentle, beautiful surprise. From the very first chapter, I felt like I was being pulled into something safe and warm—Halle and Henry's story felt real, like I could reach out and touch it.
Halle is one of those characters you don’t just root for—you see yourself in her. Her struggles with confidence, the way she shows up for everyone except herself... yeah, that hit home. And Henry? Honestly, the way he just sees her? No drama, no grand gestures—just genuine care, patience, and presence. It’s been a while since a love story made me feel so calm and hopeful.
What I especially loved was how the book handled neurodivergence and body image. It didn’t try to make a big deal out of either—it just let these characters be, and that kind of quiet representation meant a lot. The pacing was slower, sure, but in a way that gave everything time to breathe. It wasn’t about big twists, it was about watching two people learn how to be honest—with each other and with themselves.
I closed this book feeling lighter than when I started. So yeah—4.5 stars, easy. I already miss these two.
