“picking daisies on sundays” was like trying to sit through a bad rom-com marathon. i started skimming after 35%. someone teach me how to dnf without feeling bad, seriously.
it's the classic story of a girl, daisy, who's a hopeless romantic with her head in the clouds, and surprise, surprise, she falls for her childhood best friend, levi. he rejects her though, and four years later they meet again, where she agrees to this fake relationship thing with him.
the fake dating trope felt pointless, barely referenced, and the reason behind it was as confusing as trying to find your keys in a messy purse. why fake a relationship to convince an ex's mom that you're relationship material for a job? what? it just doesn't add up.
oh, and the spelling and grammatical errors? they're everywhere, girl. proofreading, anyone?
now, daisy, the leading lady. whiny, insecure, and so not cute. 🤦♀️ the whole story's in her pov, and after a few chapters, i just hated being in her whiny, annoying mind. just trust levi and let him love you, for crying out loud!
levi, though, he's the saving grace. 🙌 the man deserves a medal for putting up with daisy's drama. but let's not even start on his communication skills. dude, just talk! it's not rocket science.
oh, and the whole 4 years of ghosting? communication, people! if only they could've had an adult conversation, we could've avoided this messy plot.
anyway, i never really liked the friends-to-lovers trope, and i absolutely despise the miscommunication trope. so, is it a surprise i didn't like this? nope. the cover's adorable, and the synopsis sounded promising, but man, wish i didn't bother.
