Picking Daisies on Sundays

Rate this book
Perfect for fans of Lynn Painter and Jenny Han, this romantic comedy follows a hopeless romantic finishing college who agrees to embark on a fake relationship with her childhood best friend, who, unfortunately for her, also happens to be her first love.

Daniella Daisy Maria wanted love. It’s all she hoped for when watching endless rom-coms every Friday night. What she hadn't hoped for was to find it in her childhood best friend Levi. It was the hand-trembling, heart-thumping kind of love that wasn't supposed to happen when you saw your best friend. But it all ended when he didn’t feel the same way and she vowed to never see him again.

Four years later and one night in a crowded bar in the West Village, there he was, just as perfect as ever. Maybe it was the lighting or the way his hair curled above his brow, but she couldn’t say no when he asked her to be his fake girlfriend for his sister’s wedding. Another chance at being his friend and mending her immature mistake? How was she supposed to say no?

The weight of possible rejection from her dream grad school quickly became the least of her problems. With old, resurfacing feelings at every staged, romantic interaction and stolen glance, she struggles to find confidence. She couldn't help but think that maybe she should’ve said no to protect her heart for a second time.

girlies – if you’re searching for a book to read while listening to TTPD, this is it. 🤍🖋️

i absolutely adored this story. it made me feel genuinely good and reminded me why i love love.

if you add this book to your tbr because of the adorable cover (like me) – that’s completely valid. lucky for you, the story inside is just as cute. (also shoutout to the author for creating the cover?! apparently you can just do it all)

🌼 i’m happily married, but the rest of you all deserve a levi coldwell in your life. 🌼

“he always had this overwhelming respect for literature.”

how can you not swoon over this man with that sentence alone? 🤭 this book is a great reminder of why we love men written by women. levi is a dream.

i honestly should’ve annotated this book, there were so many unique and beautiful quotes sprinkled in here. and finally, FINALLY, a romance that isn’t too long in length. THANK YOU.

ALSO -- this is a clean romance. NO spice. i LOVED that. i think the absence of spice actually made me even more invested in all of the emotions and made me connect to the characters deeper.

there were some grammatical/spelling errors throughout the book that an editor should have caught, but i’m not letting that sway my rating too much. the author is self-published and that is badass and more than i could ever do, so i’m not going to be too tough here. 🤫

my only real gripe is that the fmc was a bit overly oblivious. overall, this book was light, cute, quick, and fun. exactly what i wanted.

read this book if you want to add a new book boyfriend to your ever-growing list 🫶🏻

⤷ buddy read with my twin flame, mims ILYSM and i had the most fun with u <3

“You’ll know you’re in love when being around them never feels long enough. Everything you learn about them will be beautiful pockets of information, no matter how flawed. Your hands will be clammy, and you’ll trip over your words when you’re around them. But if they love you back, they’ll only think that it makes you lovelier.”

for the hopeless, and hopeful, romantics who don’t know they’re noticed in a crowded room.
as someone who spends her time watching romcoms and reading romance books, this book was everything i hoped it to be and more!! i love daisyvi with all my heart 💗💘

“Don’t worry if the flowers pass, I’ll be right there to plant you more and when the soil grows old, I’ll comfort it in the chaos of the storm.”

daniella daisy maria 🌼༉‧₊˚.
daisy being a hopeless romantic, audrey hepburn & romcom fan, people-pleaser, AND fashion student, how could i not love her? i felt like i really understood a lot of her struggles, especially how she fails to see the good parts of herself and how she longs for true love. she's just like me fr! she was just so lovable and relatable 💗✨

“She lives in between the pinks and yellows of the world where a beautiful color is unknown to others and when she speaks, I become a bee enthralled in a field of daisies.”

“I want an all-consuming love. Not one that suffocates, but one that makes me so thankful that my chest feels physically overwhelmed with emotion. To have this silent, unspoken communication with a person through touch and gazes. I want to be noticed in a crowded room. I want to be the only person in a crowded room. I want to be wanted, truly wanted, and desired. I want to laugh and to sing and to dance with someone and not feel self-conscious over it because I love them and I’m confident that they love me. I want to be touched and kissed and held because I’ve forgotten what it feels like…and yet, I think I deserve it.”

levi codwell 🌼༉‧₊˚.
i can't even begin to describe how perfect levi is. he speaks french, teaches a jane austen class, buys flowers, cares about his younger sisters, remembers small things about daisy, wears glasses, AND wrote a book in french with love poems all. about. daisy. i need the author to now pay for my therapy because how dare you remind me that men like this don't exist irl 😖

“The whole book,” he breathed. “Every poem in there is about you. Everything I wrote came back to you.”

“My favorite flowers were always daisies.”

“I’m saying that if I knew four years ago that you loved me, I would’ve never let you go.”

daisy & levi 🌼💗
the way this book had childhood best friends to lovers, second chance, and fake dating trope all in one? i've always loved this idea of having your lover be your best friend, someone you can trust and someone who will try to understand you no matter what. and i think it's even better when you get a second chance because it's like the universe telling you that your story isn't over yet, that you can still fall in love & i think that this book perfectly captured this.

“I think they’re watching,” I whispered.
“Let them watch,” he whispered back.

“The lover and the archer, they’d call it. The girl who kept falling in love, and the boy who could receive love from whomever he aimed his heart at.”

“You intoxicate me, Daisy. The scent of flowers lingers on you
everywhere you go, and I always want to follow.”

“Because when you find out the person you’ve been in love with for your entire life loves you back, you’ll spend the rest of your life making up for lost time.”


overall, i adore this book with all my heart <3 there were at times where i thought the miscommunication was annoying, but it was also sort of understandable and fast-paced enough so i didn't really mind. i also really felt like i was in a romcom while reading this, which is the best feeling AND IT TAKES PLACE IN NYC!!! ugh something about a romance in the city is so magical 💗✨ honestly the whole book just reminds me of "daylight" by taylor swift, especially the bridge part 😌 this book seriously deserves all the love in the world so go read it rn <3

more quotes (bc this book is just too beautiful and i could quote every sentence)

“Everywhere we go, people are infatuated by you, looking at you and yearning to talk to you. I,” he paused for a long moment. “I am infatuated by you.”

“I’m so grateful for everything I have in life, I am. But when I see you, all I can think about is how much better life would be if you were mine. I’m so infatuated with everything you do, from the color of your lips to the way you slide your hips back and forth when you dance to the way you twist your earrings when you’re upset or how you blush when I touch you and how you breathe when I say Daisy.”

“I wanted to tell you that you looked beautiful because you are. I knew I wouldn’t miss you when you walked in tonight because you’re you. You’re so physically enthralling, let alone when you speak. And when you speak, all of the light in the room comes from you. You’re absolute sunshine and spring.”

“The Hepburn films don’t work anymore?” he asked casually, but it felt anything but casual. How did he remember that I used to rewatch Audrey Hepburn films when I needed inspiration? This was the same person who forgot his locker combination every day, and it never changed, but he somehow remembered this.”

“Two flowers intertwined because they had grown alongside each other for so long.”

“Every few months, I opened the dating apps back up. It was how my dating cycle started. Only choosing to date every few months gave me (1) time to build up my love for romance before I met someone cute for a date, and then (2) be disappointed by how the date went, and finally (3) grow worried that I’ll never find love. I then entered into my romantic-comedy and love-storyland hibernation, where I tried to remind myself that if love existed in films and books, then those stories must’ve been inspired by real love stories too. Right?”

“I tried to stop loving you, but along the way, you found your way into the sound of my laugh, the style of my writing, and the threads of my clothes.”

“How often do you think of him?” He didn’t look at me when he answered. He stared ahead at the father like he was replaying a tragic dream. “Every single day. I see him in every room I walk into, like he’ll be there waiting for me on the other side of the door. Sometimes, I swear I hear his voice in the morning calling me downstairs. And there are instances when I run down and don’t realize it until I’m halfway down the stairs.” He shook his head and made a sound similar to a laugh but resonated it with defeat. “I don't even live in the same house that he raised me in either.”

“I’d rather live through romance movies and be single than have a bunch of average dates.”

“It was as if the moon followed him everywhere he went simply because he was more beautiful than the sun.”

“You’re more radiant than flowers and the sun and no one can take that away from you.”

i have been so excited to read this book ever since i first saw a tiktok of the first page containing a lyric from lover. i knew immediately i needed to read this and i'm so glad i finally did. from the moment i read the dedication, i knew i was going to love this. it was cute and fast paced and i loved nearly everything about it. i fell in love, giggled, blushed, laughed, and even cried. i realize my rating sounds very stingy but there's a reason i took away .25 from the rating and that was dani. i loved her, but she was so insecure and in denial, it was almost impossible to read her thoughts without getting annoyed at least once. besides that, everything about this book was perfect. the writing was so pretty and easy to read and i loved the characters and the connections they had. and of course, i loved the fake dating trope. it's one of my favorites and this book did it so well.

first of all, what a pretty name. second, even though i have my complaints, she was actually really relatable (so maybe i was just projecting). an insecure, hopeless romantic who assumed the worst and didn't see the best parts of herself. sounds familiar. i connected with those parts of her so deeply and even more so when she spoke about how much she wanted love. her character development was amazing and at the end of the day, i love her more than not.

LEVI THE MAN THAT YOU ARE. dani move it's my turn. i don't think there's enough words in the english language to describe my love for levi because omg. all i can say is thank you liana cincotti for creating the perfect man. first of all, he's hot. he's tall, wears glasses, has great style and blushes easily??? I NEED HIM. that's just the beginning though. he's sweet, cares for his family so much 🥹, kind, protective, romantic, remembers the little things, speaks FRENCH AND WROTE A WHOLE FRENCH POETRY BOOK ABOUT DANI. of course he's too good to be true, currently sobbing because he's not real. the way he spoke about dani and held her, i teared up SO many times. as if my standards weren't high already.

their romance actually means everything to me and now i want to cry. the longing, stolen glances, lingering touches, the love and desire they have for each other, i loved it all. they had a beautifully developed relationship and i will be thinking about them forever. i think the only way i can truly express my love for them is to share some quotes (a lot).

final thoughts: i'm going to need a couple of days to process this book and my endless love for levi. top 5 book bfs, i don't think anyone can compare to a man who writes french love poems. anyways, please go read this book. it's so perfect for spring/summer and a great read if you need something cute and easy! this is also perfect if you need a new book bf to fall in love with.

╰┈➤ 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓓𝓮𝓮𝓽𝓼

Daniella Daisy Maria is a hopeless romantic who wanted love and to be in love. She's the type to watch countless romcom's and apply the rules to her life.

She unexpectedly falls in love with her best friend Levi in high school. They were inseparable, but at the senior prom when she drinks too much to give her liquid courage in order to say how she feels - everything falls apart and she can no longer face him after she told him how she felt.

Four years later while out at a club/bar with her friends she runs into Levi again...


╰┈➤ 𝓛𝓮𝓿𝓲 🌼

This man. This man. This man. Whew. 🥵😮‍💨 Ladies... this man is the ultimate cinnamon roll. He writes poetry- in French. 😳 He's tall and sexy with dark hair and glasses with unruly hair. A TA for a class that specifically studies the works of Jane Austen. Talk about the ultimate academia/dark academia dream man. ➜🫀Take it Levi. It's yours. 😭

╰┈➤ 𝓓𝓪𝓷𝓲𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓪 𝓪𝓴𝓪 𝓓𝓪𝓷𝓲 𝓪𝓴𝓪 𝓓𝓪𝓲𝓼𝔂 🌼

I'm not even going to lie to ya'll - I'm not a fan of our FMC but she was tolerable. She's quirky, socially uncomfortable, low self esteem. Totally unaware of how probably awesome she is. She's a fashion major but walks around in ill fitting overalls. Like what? She's not great at expressing herself even when something, anything is staring her right in her face because she's too busy second guessing herself.

╰┈➤ 𝓜𝔂 𝓽𝓱𝓸𝓾𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓼 🌼

I've seen this book being compared to Lynn Painter books - or at least being recommended for fans of Lynn Painter - I can see it to a degree but with LP books, they are true romcom's for me. This didn't really feel like a romcom but more of best friend to lovers with a lot of miscommunication involved. The miscommunication wasn't to the point where I was going to pull my hair out - at least not until the end.

My favorite part was Levi obviously, he was so freaking dreamy and the exact book boyfriend I needed at the moment.

I wish the author would have fleshed out the characters more. I wanted to know more about each one of them but they are so closed lipped about how they feel - I also wish the author would have done a dual POV so that we could experience what Levi was feeling throughout. I feel that usually works best with the whole we love each other but no one is saying it trope.

I was a little confused why the whole fake dating had to occur?

The miscommunication is strong here peeps!

I really did enjoy it though and found it to be a super cute, with quick/short chapters light hearted romance. Levi- do it for Levi.


"Something that no one talks about when a loved one passes, is that when the years go by, it feels as if they never truly existed, like it was another life. My memories had been slipping away like chapters in a good book with each passed day. No one tells you that the reality of them actually being gone doesn't kick in until you try to call them and realize... you can't, that you can never call them again. That they aren't just gone for a moment, but they're gone for the rest of your moments." 😭🫂💔❤️‍🩹


"For the hopeless, and hopeful, romantics who don't know they're noticed in a crowed room." 🥹🌷🌿💕🫶🏻

╰┈➤ for an independently published novel this is amazing! i think this author writes so poetically. some of these lines are beautiful I literally don’t know how she came up with them 😭✋🏼 it’s the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard in my life. the quotes I’m going to share with y’all will have you swooning 😫 if you don’t swoon.. is your heart made of ice??? i guess it does make sense bc our mmc writes a whole entire poetry collection 🤭 (also she designed the cover herself! what a talented queen 🤭)



~ 𝒅𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒚 ~ ❀

╰┈➤ ah daisy. we have a love hate relationship. i love her for her character development. she’s a hopeless romantic who is insecure. i think we can relate to her in that way bc we’re all a little insecure at the end of the day. Levi really helped her overcome that. GUYS SHE ALSO LOVES AUDREY HEPBURN SO SHE GETS POINTS FOR THAT ✋🏼 on the other hand she’s so pick me 😭 yes she can be insufferable sometimes but i also look at her positive side. these are supposed to feel like real characters and real people have flaws so nobody can be absolutely perfect. (except for Levi) my point is that a lot of us don’t really end up liking fmc’s and that’s okay, try to give her a chance though 😭

HE WRITES A WHOLE FREAKING POETRY COLLECTION 😭✋🏼 bakes her a strawberry shortcake bc he knows it’s her favorite✋🏼 mans is insecure about his looks, uhhh hello ur insane. he’ll always ask “do I look okay?” SIR.

(づ๑•ᴗ•๑)づ 𝟓 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬 💗

This book is about 2 best friends who found comfort in each other as they connected through the loss of a father. They were the type of bffs that went to each other's house for Sunday dinners, movie nights, sleepovers, the friendship where it's the two of them against the whole wide world. But as Daniella Daisy Maria watched those rom coms on Levi Codwell’s couch all she ever wished for was love. The type that sweeps you off your feet and takes your breath away every time you see your loved one, the type of love that shouldn't happen when you see your childhood best friend. But it did. And she told him. She hasn't seen him for 4 years since then.

"𝑯𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒘𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒘𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒆𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒇𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑 𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒌𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆."

𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐫���𝐚, is the type of girl hoping to find love that makes her heart rate race as if she's the main character of a romcom. She is the girl that wears overalls even though she is a fashion designer, adorable earrings, and treasures strawberry shortcake and flowers. Daisy is the type of person that's sweet and kind from the bottom of her heart. She’s the ray of light everyone needs in their life. This girl deserves all the love her heart can hold and seeing her grow from a girl with self-doubt and insecurity to a confident woman, like a beautiful daisy in the garden, makes me feel so so proud. 🌼

"𝑰 𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏’𝒕 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓: 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒘𝒂𝒔𝒏’𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖, 𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒊𝒕 𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍."

“𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅, 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝒖𝒏𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔”

𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐢 𝐂𝐨𝐝𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥, hold up. Let me go gather my words even though words aren't enough to describe this perfection. I need a Levi Codwell in my life right this instant. He is the most caring soul to his sisters and stepped into the father role with such braveness. He writes French love poems. Uh huh, ya, you heard it right!! He remembers Every. Single. Detail. about Daisy even after 4 FREAKING YEARS!!! Oh, and he just casually happens to be a TA who wears glasses, blushes, and teaches Jane Austen. He is the most compassionate, caring, sweetest, kindest, gorgeous soul to ever exist and I'm swooning 🫶🏼

“𝑴𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒅𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒆𝒔”

“𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖’𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌, 𝒚𝒐𝒖’𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒖𝒑 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆.”

𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬, one word. ATE! Daisy’s little trio friend group lets ignore the fact that I forgot all the side characters names are so precious omg! They were there right beside her throughout the whole process, comforting her, taking care of her and running to her 5 mins after a phone call <33 they're literally the BEST!! Daisy’s fashion group were so hilarious the way they swooned and fanned their selves every time Levi stepped in the room was so REAL ! like girl I get it, I get it <33 Daisy’s fashion mentor…how about you go kill yourself…respectfully speaking...this man did not have an ounce of confidence in Daisy’s work and was the most unsupportive bastard ever…and don't even get me started on the other stuff he tried to do. At Least he got Levi calling daisy baby while comforting her - I'm head over heels for this man I know. 🌹

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 & 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, Dani and Levi’s story was so heartwarming to read, I actually finished it in one sitting. I swear I was giggling like a little girl because it was so ADORABLE!! Their romance was the cutest thing I've ever seen. I literally cannot move on. I love how they have nicknames for each other (Daisy & Vi) like hello?!?! That's so CUTE OML HELP!! The little twists and turns in the plots made me feel so much, the way Liana Cincotti wrote about every little thing made my heart twist and scream. They’re going to live rent free in my mind, heart and soul forever. 💐

Sneak peek 🤍:

“𝒀𝒐𝒖’𝒓𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒕, 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎 𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒌.”

𝑰 𝒔𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒎𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒔. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒖𝒍𝒈𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒊𝒕.

“𝑰 𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏’𝒕 𝒔𝒂𝒚 𝒌𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒆,” 𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒂𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕 𝒎𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒔.

This is the type of book you lightheartedly laugh, have a mild heartache even though you know you’ll get your perfect ending, giggle with excitement, blush at the adorableness, squeal one million times, jump up and down from cuteness and hold it close to your heart because it's just that precious. It's the type of book you want to read, curled up in a blanket, drinking hot chocolate or every time you just want to feel comfort 🫂💗

★★★☆☆ - 3.5 stars - new review!

“Two flowers intertwined because they had grown alongside each other for so long.”

the perfect romance for spring!

the plot was great! the two main characters went on every date you could imagine. from dance lessons to baking to movie nights, it was so fun. it was very teenage-love-esc despite the characters being in their 20s. it might’ve dragged on for a bit too long, but overall, easy to follow and an enjoyable time!

i think the writing has to be the lowest point of the story. it felt very underdeveloped and choppy. i think there is some potential, but there was a lot of fine tuning needed.

daisy was a bit irritating in my opinion. i think she could’ve been portrayed more maturely. what i mean by this is that she acted 15, when really, she was 22. instead of thinking about work or friends, her mind constantly strayed to levi. and wow!! she was obsessed with him. it got a bit annoying to not see any other plot points aside from the romance. there was a little mention of grief, but it wasn’t talked about enough!
i think she was relatable in a few ways. she struggles with insecurities, about what—i don’t know. but many other people have insecurities as well, so i guess daisy can have a few points for that.
i wish she wasn’t so helpless though! after what one of the characters did, I expected her to stand up for herself, but no! she waited for levi to come save her. i know you have it in you, daisy!

levi, oh my gosh! he was hot. a french teacher who wrote a whole book about daisy—in french. he baked her a cake, bought her flowers, attempted sewing, and so many other things. loved him so much.

levi doesn’t deserve daisy, but they were sweet together. all of the quotes had me swooning!!

overall, if you want a cute, fluffy romance book, i’d recommend this.

I am a hopeless romantic at heart and this book made me feel so seen!!

I know this quote is so long and a literal paragraph but this quote single handedly described exactly how I feel WORD. FOR. WORD. I LOVE DANI SO MUCH she is me and I am her. I love when I can relate to characters and see myself in them as if they are a mirror I am standing in front of, and I saw myself in Dani. She is such a hopeless romantic who loves watching romance movies and yearns for the same love that I do. She loves strawberry shortcake and flowers, cute little earrings and hair clips; she’s such a warm and bright and comforting and REAL character I love her so so much she deserves all the love in the world and I’m so happy she has Levi to give her that. I loved seeing her growth seeing as she was very insecure about herself and her work and the ending absolutely brought tears to my eyes I am so so proud of her.

I LOVE LEVI SO MUCH OH MY GOSHHH he is my new book boyfriend!! This man is literally the most sweetest, compassionate and caring man i have ever read about and Dani wasn’t lying when she said he was the type of man women wrote romance novels about because HE. IS. If I never find someone like him then I don’t want him because he is literally the type of man I will be looking for and not settling for less.

First off, he’s a shy, smart, attractive man who wears GLASSES (he’s literally my type) who teaches a class about JANE AUSTEN and SPEAKS FRENCH!! He has such a loving relationship and connection with his siblings; he’s such a caring brother and his sisters mean the world to him and are his whole life, he will always be there for them and will put them first before himself.

Now onto how he is with Dani… he looks at her with this intensity that lets her know he’s paying attention to EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. like she is an addictive drug and looks at her with this disbelief she is exists, like she is the only one in the room. He cares so much for her safety that he will find time in his busy schedule to make sure HE walks her somewhere she needs to go or drive her home. He also doesn’t care about what she wears and will love whatever it is she’s wearing no matter how baggy or fitted. He always gives her constant reassurance whenever she needs it; telling her she doesn’t need to be embarrassed around him or that she safe to tell him anything. If this man isn’t the most comforting boyfriend then idk who is because he is SO SWEET and LOVES HER SO MUCH!!!

My gosh they are one of my favorite books couples ever and I wish to have a relationship like theirs one day… The way they were both in love with each other FOR YEARS and that love never went away was so heart wrenching and heart warming at the same time. He literally wrote a BOOK with POEMS in FRENCH about her when they weren’t even together at that point HE IS SO IN LOVE WITH HER and reading her pov and seeing how she thought of him and the way she would describe him is how I hope to love someone someday. They are such a REAL couple with FLAWS and LOVE and i absolutely loved reading about their story and their love.

apparently i woke up and chose torture this morning because i read this in one sitting. it wasn’t particularly bad but it wasn’t the right pick for me. if you love friends to lovers, second chance, no third act and fake dating, you could possibly enjoy this.🫠

🎶 i wanna better body, i want better skin
i wanna be perfect like all your other friends


dani, daniella, daisy had the self esteem of the exact size of a grain of rice. it was hard to be in her brain all the time and reading about her comparing herself with other girls. i don’t hate her but i don’t love her either.

💔 The lover and the archer, they’d call it. The girl who kept falling in love,and the boy who could receive love from whomever he aimed his heart at.

🎶you look so pretty, pretty like the wind
every time you touch me, i feel adrenaline


levi, you were good. you wear glasses, speak french, write poems in french AND blush easily. you could be my dream man, you could be my husband…the father of my fictional babies…but you are not. guess why? ☹️

he would blush for other woman too✋🏻 he gave his attention to every woman he spoke, he let them touch his arm etc✋🏻 i’m not ashamed to admit that i’m an extremely jealous person😌 i have caveman tendencies when it comes to the person i love so i’m going back to my cave✋🏻

❤️‍🩹You’re spring, baby. You’re more radiant than flowers and the sun and no one can take that away from you.

also his poems? pffts. i’m not big on poems, i only read emily dickinson(mother) or turkish poets(if you haven’t read before do you even know what love is🤔) so his poems had zero effect on me. i scrolled them like scrolling depressed tumblr posts.

anyway so the lesson we should get from this book is that if you’re in high school and in love with your bff, tell them. there’s a big chance they love you back or you might lose 4 years out of your own stupidity 🤗

me reading this book and waiting something interesting to happen;;;;;

“For the hopeless, and the hopeful, romantics who don’t know they’re noticed in a crowded room.”

: ̗̀➛ from the dedication i knew this would be a good book. and also, tell me this cover isn’t the cutest thing you’ve ever seen 🤭

: ̗̀➛ this book was so sweettttt. there were SO MANY cute quotes and about halfway thru i was wishing i had annotated it. honestly considering rereading it over the summer or sometime just to find all those beautiful lines!!

: ̗̀➛ throughout this book, i giggled (like FR 😭), laughed, and i got so, so close to crying IN SCHOOL!!! like, it was seriously that good. i really, really liked it ☺️! also, it’s completely clean. just kissing!! definitely added points imo

“Two flowers intertwined because they had grown alongside each other for so long.”

: ̗̀➛ the rest of the book was soo good and cute too! it was sooo close to 5 stars, just a few things were a bit off for me.. let’s get thru my complaints first so then i can go back to raving about this adorable romance ☺️.

: ̗̀➛ i really liked the fmc’s bestfriends’ personalities, jia and gabe, but it felt like they had no character depth and only existed to support the fmc, daisy/dani/daniella. they were always available when daisy needed them, which, i mean adds points, but it seemed like they had no lives ykk.

: ̗̀➛ other complaint: daisy was sometimes a little too insecure.. it slightly gave pick me 😭. im sorry, but how could she actually say that in the scene after the gala with levi??? are you being for real maam? also, some grammatical errors and typos.

: ̗̀➛ final complaint is the miscommunication trope. it gets me sooo angry sometimes 😣. like are ppl actually this oblivious irl? i don’t think so..

“‘My favorite flowers were always daisies.’”

˗ˏˋ꒰ 👛 ꒱ daisy/dani - her middle name is daisy, and that’s what levi calls her 🥰. ugh i love levi—but im getting sidetracked.. shes a fashion major in her last year of college, a hopeless romantic, and super sweet. she’s very insecure about her looks and her body image.. which is kinda relatable but at the same time, the way it’s portrayed is too over the top, and she comes off as a pick me sometimes. she’s also a bit—what am i talking about—very oblivious 😣.

˗ˏˋ꒰ 👛 ꒱ leviiiiiii - he CARRIED. like honestly levi was the best part of this book 🤭. he was so sweet, romantic, kind, and caring. he’s superrrr protective over daisy and his little sisters🥰💗. he’s super close with his family and it’s so sweet how much he helps out with them ☺️. he remembers the small things, the little details!!! and he speaks french!!!!!! and he wrote a book of french poems!!!! and he reads!!!!! *dies* when i say i love this man 😻

: ̗̀➛ i heavily recommend this book if you’re looking for a cute, fluffy romance and lighthearted read. also if you’re a fan of the childhood best friends to lovers trope 🤭.

“‘You love me?’ I whispered. ‘I love you more than my heart can physically handle.’”

romance, childhood best friends to lovers
. ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁

.𖥔 ݁ ˖ ”for the hopeless, and hopeful, romantics who don’t know they’re noticed in a crowded room.”

i.plot

daniella has been in love with her childhood best friend levi since high school. she finally confesses her feelings to him at their senior prom, but he doesn't feel the same way. heartbroken, daniella decides to cut ties with levi. however, four years later, they unexpectedly meet again in a bar. levi surprises daniella by asking her to be his fake girlfriend for his sister's wedding and she agrees.

my thoughts .𖥔 ݁ ˖ ┆this book is so cute, it’s fun and lighthearted, the perfect book to read during spring/summer. if you liked better than the movies by lynn painter i think you’ll also enjoy this book! it was fast paced and short, perfect to bring on vacation.

ii.romance

to no one’s surprise, the miscommunication trope was present in this book, and it was STRONG. is it that hard to communicate because these books are boosting my ego. i also think it would’ve been better as a dual pov book because i really wanted levi’s pov (i was getting a little sick of daisy). other than that, it was sweet and it feels like they genuinely love each other, it’s not just lust driven.

iii.characters

daniella ⊹ ࣪ ˖ she was 22 acting like a child 🥲 she felt somewhat underdeveloped. i could relate to her sometimes — especially to her insecurities. despite this, daisy came across as a genuinely sweet person who simply wanted a love story like in romance books, which is totally understandable.

“i want an all-consuming love. not one that suffocates, but one that makes me so thankful that my chest feels physically overwhelmed with emotion. to have this silent, unspoken communication with a person through touch and gazes. i want to be noticed in a crowded room. i want to be the only person in a crowded room. i want to be wanted, truly wanted, and desired. i want to laugh and to sing and to dance with someone and not feel self-conscious over it because i love them and I’m confident that they love me. I want to be touched and kissed and held because i’ve forgotten what it feels like…and yet, i think i deserve it.”

levi ⊹ ࣪ ˖ hey alexa, play “slut!” by taylor swift
”in a world of boys he’s a gentleman”

HE SPEAKS FRENCH. HE WRITES POEMS. HE’S THE ACADEMIA TYPE. HE WEARS GLASSES 🤭 (am i the only one to find glasses attractive?)

“you intoxicate me, daisy. the scent of flowers lingers on you everywhere you go, and I always want to follow.”

quotes ౨ৎ

“neck stiff, legs weak, eyes set on what we could’ve looked like if you hadn’t left”

“don’t worry if the flowers pass, i’ll be right there to plant you more”

“she lives in between the pinks and yellows of the world, where a beautiful color is unknown to others”

“her hips my altar and her lips my religion.”

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ this book felt like warm spring— drinking honey lemon tea in front of tall, bright windows, and watching color settle in the flowers. it was so cozy and exactly what a childhood friends-to-lovers book should be (not sure if i can say childhood since it was high school, but it doesn’t matter) 💗

i only had a few minor problems, like it taking me a sec to acclimate to the writing style and format (still not sure why bc the writing was beautiful 😭), but the ending reveal made up for that over and over again. daisy and levi were so adorable and i was kicking my feet like crazy throughout the end.

apart from their adorable relationship, they were both pretty developed characters with their own goals and aspirations in life! which i love because some other romances made their relationship the only focus and it becomes one dimensional. 🌼 daisy was so sweet and caring, and her fashion designer dreams were so fun to read about. 💌 levi was literally all the aspects of a perfect fictional love interest rolled into one — the author knew what she was doing with that. like wdym he writes poetry and studies english?

anyways if you’re looking for an adorable rom-com with the best vibes, read THIS!! (and ignore the late review I never have the words to describe books i love 🫶) ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

this girl went through so much(especially bc of men 🤮), but she was so precious!!! and the way she talked about grief was so beautifully written!! especially since it’s such a heavy subject. i loved watching her grow in her confidence, especially with what she wears!!! she was so insecure in the beginning, but she bloomed into this beautiful, confident butterfly(with levi’s help ofc)

“𝒮𝒸𝓇𝑒𝓌 𝓂𝑒𝓃. 𝐼’𝒹 𝓌𝑒𝒶𝓇 𝓌𝒽𝒶𝓉𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝐼 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉.”

WE LOVE DAISY SO MUCH!!!!!! She is honestly the sweatiest FMC I have ever read. I love this book because she was honestly so loving and ahhhhhh. She was amazing. I love everything about her. I love how she held onto her dream of being a seamstress. I also love how even though she got "Rejected" (Another story or another day) On Prom Night she kept going strong. I love how sweet she is to people around her. This is such a perfect summer Rom-Com book to read.

Three words. KIND. READS. WRITE. That is all I need in a man. OMG he is literally the best. And he has the best sense of humor. I was so happy in the end we got to read his POV as an extended Epilogue. I kid you not I was screaming and kicking out of joy

❀𝘑𝘪𝘢 & 𝘎𝘢b𝘦❀
OMG YES!!! Instead of only getting 1 best friend WE GOT TWO! 2!!!!! I love them I love they're thing they do. And of course the inside joke "Did you do it with your tongue." I won't ruin it for you. But omg what a funny joke. We love them so much. They cared so much for Daisy.

Well Let me just say this. This book was amazing. This book got me hook. This book help me out of my reading slump. AND THIS BOOK WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!! Lol. I couldn't find it anywhere. So when Amazon had it I did not hesitate to buy it. Anyways... This was my very first book I annotated. And it was so fun! I love the cover it looks like it was hand drawn on paper than on a computer or something. I love how it looks like it was made out of color pencils! I also love the plot and all. This book really was the best. And having the MMC (Levi) as a TA and a Literature Teacher/Author of a poem book. I fell immediate. Like that is my dream soulmate. I also love, LOVE Daisy. I love how funny she was and just her personality was refreshing. This book was just the cherry on top to finish out April!!

For the hopeless, and hopeful, romantics who don’t know they’re noticed in a crowded room.


✧𓈒⋆ 4.5 stars 𓈒⋆✧

how can i even begin explaining what this book did to me? just imagine the first breath of spring weather, the warmest night spent with your loved ones, cooking dinner with your favorite person, hugging that person and just breathing in their scent — that is how reading this book feels. it brings you the warmest feelings that make you smile, kick your feet and feel so content and wholesome. honestly, i feel like the last time the book made me feel so cozy was when i was reading “the seven year slip”, so if you're a fan of that book you may check this one too. the warmest feelings envelop you in warm hug and never let you go, from the beginning to the end. somewhere along the pages you just simply give up for the vibes, spring radiates through the pages and if you're so tired of winter like myself this book really is a form of spring awaking. for me it was, at least.

the story revolves around daniella and levi, two ex-best friends who had a falling out at their prom night because of [guess what?] miscommunication. from the very first moment of this book we understand that dani is deeply in love with her best friend and the feelings only grow through the years they spent apart. four years later they accidentally meet and some circumstances make them pretend to be in a relationship. so, for now we have two of my favorite tropes — best friends to lovers and fake dating, you can imaging that this book was sold for me basically after fifty or so pages 🤭
the story starts from there and holds your attention until the beginning. the main characters feel so real, so humanly imperfect and so relatable that you can't not love them. both daniella and levi are the definition of comfort, home-like and safe characters that i'll hold close to my heart for a very long time. i'll definitely reread this book in future because of the way it made me feel — content, warm and fuzzy.

i love love, what can i say?

“You’re spring, baby. You’re more radiant than flowers and the sun and no one can take that away from you.”

“You intoxicate me, Daisy. The scent of flowers lingers on you everywhere you go, and I always want to follow.”

“The whole book,” he breathed. “Every poem in there is about you. Everything I wrote came back to you.”
​“This is about me?” ​
“Every. Single. Word.” He breathed those words like they had been prepared for months.


✧𓈒⋆ daniella daisy maria 𓈒⋆✧
⤷ i am her and she is me. dani felt incredibly relatable by hitting so close to my heart. she's not the confident main characters who knows what she wants and how to get there. she's not comfortable in relationships, she's doesn't radiate self-confidence, but she's not an awkward silly character too. dani hits so close to heart because of how real she feels, she's not special or chosen one, she's also not the shy and isolated character too — she's the normal one, just like most of us girlies. and her normalness, her realness hits different, she hits different because of that. she's a girl in her early and mid twenties and maybe that's why i was able to relate to her this much, i was able to understand her and all of her choices, even though with some of them i didn't agree.

daisy [which is the cutest nickname ever if you ask me] is an embodiment of girls that listen to taylor swift and gracie abrams; who wants to stay in rather than go out, but could go out if their best friends ask them; who doesn't know what they want from life and if they can take risks; who loves nice cloth, but also can't see herself in one of the prettiest dresses; who has a lot of friends and strong support system, but also feels kind of alone because of her self-consciousness. she's one of us and her journey in this book with finding her own voice and taking risks, believing in herself, getting to know herself evolved so beautifully. i can go on and on about that, but wouldn't it be better if you just get to know her by reading this book? believe me, dani is worth it all.

He had this smile on his face that could’ve powered the sun. The corners of his eyes crinkled with laughter; the way dough of croissants creased in the oven. His brown curls bounced with the balls of his feet, and I stared in awe.
“I needed an excuse to see you again.” ​The surprise was blatant on my face.
“Why?”
​He laughed quietly. “I could write a book on why.”

“I’m so grateful for everything I have in life, I am. But when I see you, all I can think about is how much better life would be if you were mine. I’m so infatuated with everything you do, from the color of your lips to the way you slide your hips back and forth when you dance to the way you twist your earrings when you’re upset or how you blush when I touch you and how you breathe when I say Daisy.”


✧𓈒⋆ levi coldwell 𓈒⋆✧
⤷ isn't he just perfect? he's beautiful, caring and he speaks french — levi is already a 10 out of 10 in my books. the way he talk about dani, how he comes to walk her from her evening classes even though he's not suppose to, how he basically begs her to stay in his mother's house, so that she doesn't have to call a cab because it's very late. in the world of boys he's a gentlemen. he wrote a french poems about her even after their falling out four years ago. hello, how could he be so perfect? and why isn't he real? i don't want to spoil a lot, but i could say that i'd put levi coldwell somewhere near gus everett in my romcom book boyfriends list and let me tell you that gus is like very untouchable for me!

this book is not a dual pov, but it has one bonus chapter with levi's pov and that singular chapter was perfectly wholesome. here are some quotes for you to believe me:

“Daisy,” I moaned. My Daisy.

I’d get on my knees and worship her if I could have this every day. Her hips my altar and her lips my religion.

“You intoxicate me, Daisy. The scent of flowers lingers on you everywhere you go, and I always want to follow.” She felt tense under my hand. Jesus, why couldn’t I say something normal? I’ve been in love with her since I was sixteen, daydreaming about kissing her, and now I was fucking it up.


well, aren't those quotes perfect? especially the taylor swift reference that made me scream, because false god is so danilevi coded.

“If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?” 
“Love,” I exhaled; that answer had been as easy as drinking water. It existed in all of my daydreams. “I want an all-consuming love. Not one that suffocates, but one that makes me so thankful that my chest feels physically overwhelmed with emotion. To have this silent, unspoken communication with a person through touch and gazes. I want to be noticed in a crowded room. I want to be the only person in a crowded room. I want to be wanted, truly wanted, and desired. I want to laugh and to sing and to dance with someone and not feel self-conscious over it because I love them and I’m confident that they love me. I want to be touched and kissed and held because I’ve forgotten what it feels like…and yet, I think I deserve it.”
By the time I had finished, my face had flushed, and Levi was watching me. Lips parted, eyes curious, and neck taut. His head was only inches away from mine in the dark living room. I so badly wanted to lean forward and show him how I wanted to be kissed. But it wouldn’t have even mattered because he already knew. He knew exactly how to kiss me. 


✧𓈒⋆ dani & levi daisy & vi 𓈒⋆✧

⤷ i don't know what to say here except that they are just so perfectly wholesome that it's impossible to neglect how powerful and overwhelming their love for each other is. how all-consuming and content their bond felt even after years of separation, how comfortable and cozy all of their scenes felt. i'm a sucker for best friends to lovers trope, because that's the trope that's closest to what i have in real life, so i entered this book being biased already. i know that some people don't enjoy this trope and find it kind of boring, but if you just give this book a chance you'll be surprised how well-executed this trope feels. yes, the miscommunication is the main reason for any issues here, but it feels organic, because otherwise the story would've been basically absent. besides that miscommunication, i promise, there are no issues with what dani and levi have, how content they are.

The lover and the archer, they’d call it. The girl who kept falling in love, and the boy who could receive love from whomever he aimed his heart at.


the bond between main characters feels natural and overwhelming, it's like there're only them for each other, no one compares. their chemistry is so radiant that it makes you instantly drawn to their story and how the things evolve between them. dani and levi fall into their old habits after not seeing each other for four years instantly and that's what makes their bond feel extremely believable — that's exactly what best friends do. and then when the story progresses and you uncover their true feelings it feels like eternal sunshine, like they are the most radiant thing in the whole world. it's so romcomishly cute that it's impossible not to live. well, this book is for hopelless and hopeful romantics, what can i say?

“You love me?” I whispered.
His shoulders relaxed and his eyes went weak with desire. ​“I love you more than my heart can physically handle.”


this book is going to be one of my favorite feel-good books, i'm sure of it. it brought me such a needed warm feeling and offered me the sweetest hug. i would recommend it to every one who feels like reading something so light and cute, so sweet and wholesome. this books made me feel extremely seen, probably even exposed because the story and the characters hit so close to the heart. it's a shame that this book is not as well-knows as it deserves, because i really could go and scream from the rooftops about this cutest novella. liana cincotti wrote a mesmerising story that brought me the brightest and warmest feelings and i cannot that her enough for that. so if you're looking for something to deliver you those emotions, i would definitely recommend this book. it's cozy, warm and wholesome — and for me, it's a great formula.

some quotes because i just can't gatekeep them:

She lives in between the pinks and yellows of the world, where a beautiful color is unknown to others

“I wanted to tell you that you looked beautiful because you are. I knew I wouldn’t miss you when you walked in tonight because you’re you. You’re so physically enthralling, let alone when you speak. And when you speak, all of the light in the room comes from you. You’re absolute sunshine and spring.

Romantic playlists burned into CDs. Hearts embroidered into scarves. Soft kisses on foreheads. Dark theaters on rainy Friday nights. Dainty gold jewelry against soft skin. French poems written while drunk. Protective hands against your hips guiding you through crowds. I felt all of it at once.

“Everywhere we go, people are infatuated by you, looking at you and yearning to talk to you. I,” he paused for a long moment. “I am infatuated by you.”

“You’ll know you’re in love when being around them never feels long enough. Everything you learn about them will be beautiful pockets of information, no matter how flawed. Your hands will be clammy, and you’ll trip over your words when you’re around them. But if they love you back, they’ll only think that it makes you lovelier.”

Glances, gazes, eyes following places they shouldn’t have seen / intimacy was to be seen by you; free falling was to be touched by you / there was no such thing as a crowded room where you stood

Do you hear that? That’s my heart knocking against my chest at the sight of you / I’ve never heard anything more terrifying / how could you provide me air and suffocate me at the same time?

“Because when you find out the person you’ve been in love with for your entire life loves you back, you’ll spend the rest of your life making up for lost time.”

4/5 ⭐️

- This book gave me actual butterflies. Like I literally found myself gasping at small moments throughout the book because the writing is so beautiful. If you loved Better Than The Movies by Lynn Painter you’ll really love this one. I also really enjoyed how this book didn’t really have spice and the characters were in college & not in high school which was so refreshing to read.
- Really would have loved more of Levi’s pov. Love that we got a little bit at the end but I wanted more. Would have loved a little more dialogue too. Hearing the fmc’s inner monologue was so relatable though and the way the story flowed made sense with their history.
- Friends to lovers is my absolute favorite trope and this was done so well!! I would love to see a second book because the characters were all so loveable. Was absolutely obsessed with the friend group too!!

4.5 ˖⁺‧✮

“Burden me with your secrets / So I can carry the weight you’re so fearful of letting go”


i read someone saying this, and i totally agree: i don’t like rating books based on their tropes, and in general use tropes for promoting book. i’m mentioning this, because “Picking Daisies On Sundays” included one of my least favorite tropes. and even though main characters are friends to lovers, i truly enjoyed their story. it felt like watching your favorite movie while actually reading and annotating a book🎆

random: personally, i would be too curious about the book and i would translate it as soon as i got it.

i read it back in february and can’t wait to get the physical copy📖


would i recommend?
yes yes yes and yes! if you are a fan of romance books or want to start reading romances start with “Picking Daisies on Sundays”


quotes:

“My heart was so full of our memories that it painted my body like a scrapbook”

“Intimacy was to be seen by you; free falling was to be touched by you”

“I tried to stop loving you, but along the way you found you way into the sound of my laugh, the style of my writing, and the threads of my clothes”

“Two flowers intertwined because they had grown alongside each other for so long”

“Unkempt flowers because of the sunlight you held in your faraway heart”

“My heart has been broken a million times by the same hand, yet I would let it happen a million times again if it meant it was by you”

“So yes, I’m leaning again, and I’m sorry for not being strong enough in this friendship to suppress my feeling for you”

“To be close to you was to be haunted by what I could have and to be reminded of how much I truly wanted you”

tragically, i'm not kind nor patient enough to love this book. i wish i was, but i'm definitely not.

↪ plot:

Childhood best friends Daniella and Levi reunite after four years for some fake dating to help Levi land a new job. But all the proximity this new situation brings them won't be easy for Daniella who's been in love with Levi all these years.

↪ thoughts:

*during the first half:*

Have I ever read a more oblivious and frustrating FMC? I don't think so (I'm sure I have, just let me be dramatic) because what the hell is this? She can't be serious, like, there's no way this is how her brain works. I understand being insecure (hell, I am too sometimes), but if I were Dani's friend a very harsh intervention would be needed because, girl, this gets so tiring.

*during the second half:*

Okay, turns out both of them are insanely oblivious, but they're also cute. She's still pissing me off, a little bit less I admit, but it's still exhausting to be inside her head. But, I give this book some extra points because Dani and Levi's scenes together are adorable (especially the ones in the last chapters, super cute) and some of the things they say to each other make me swoon.

*after finishing:*

I would've enjoyed this more if we had some balance with Levi's POV after all the self-pity Dani put me through in almost all these chapters. I'm not saying this to be a hater, I'm serious because I really liked that one chapter we got in Levi's POV, and it would've been nice (and even sweet) to go back and forth through their silly thoughts about them being "unrequitedly" in love with their best friend.

*overall:*

I hate being the girl who dislikes and criticizes the FMC but loves the MMC... but I am for this book.

★★½ stars

(ngl, i feel kinda mean after this)

i think this may have been better than 'better than the movies'.. and that's saying a lot. it had so many details that all came together so beautifully in the end. the grief in this book was portrayed so well, it wasn't too much or too little. i am all about book-to-movie adaptations, so if the only way to make this a movie was for me to make it happen, i'd go through all the work to see levi & dani on screen!!! omg, i would in a heartbeat <3

(1) OH MY GODDD STOPP 😭😭😭😭 IM TYPING THIS OUT AT 2 AM TO SAVE WHEN IM WRITING THE REVIEW, AND IM NOT EVEN FINISHED WITH THE BOOK YET!? SO GOOD.

(2) Deep breathes… it’s currently 3 am on a Monday, but we are just gonna ignore that.

My head is booming. My heart is banging and my hands are sweaty asf. You’re telling me that this book… THIS book was self published by a small author??? WHAT. GIVE THIS GIRL A ROUND OF FUCKING APPLAUSE 👏 but In all seriousness, I hope the absolute best for this person’s career in writing 🫶

Bro don’t even get me started on the quotes… DON’T. The quotes are tattooed in my brain and injected into my veins. This book has so many clues and small twists it just melts my heart. Even the cover and chapter titles got meanings wtf 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 The book couldn’t have ended any better holy hell. I’m not even kidding like how this book ended was so cute and damn excellent. This is THE cutest romance book istg.

I also just wanna say how realistic this book is imo. With all the arguments and misunderstandings, Daisy’s battle with insecurities and self confidence throughout the book. Along with the grief for her dad 💔 (everyone grieves differently ofc)

Levi fucking Coldwell is the goddamn standard. THAT MAN OH MY GOD. STOP JUST STOP. He’s so charming and thoughtful. How to be Daisy?!

Daisy bby I love u. U got a special place in my heart 😭 She’s just like all of us. A hopeless romantic with big love for romance movies, and Audrey Hepburn. Watching her going through struggles and insecurities was heartbreaking, but her slowly getting over it was admirable. Tons of kisses to you bbg.

Man the things I would do just to have a friend group like Daisy’s 🥹

"It was home, she was home"

"I'd get on my knees and worship her if I could have this every day"
"Her hips my alter her lips my religion"

”Ready to go home?” he asked. ​“With you, always”

WHAT. THE. HELL

There are tons of quotes, and every single one of them are so heart touching and adorable.

Ugh I hate this book. Pay for my therapy 😭

Also French being quite a big part in the book was hot.
