Publisher Description
INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
#1 New York Times bestselling author of Icebreaker Hannah Grace returns in this steamy, slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance.
Henry Turner knows he’s going to have to work extra hard to survive his junior year of college, especially stuck in a difficult class. And with his new title of captain for the hockey team—which he didn’t even want—he absolutely cannot fail.
Halle Jacobs is an academic superstar on campus, but on the inside, she’s a people-pleaser who has never put herself first. Determined to change that, she decides to enter a writing contest and pen the romance novel of her dreams. The problem is, she realizes she hasn’t lived enough to write anything.
So, the two opposites make an unlikely pact. Halle will tutor Henry, and Henry will pretend to date Halle to give her fodder for her novel.
They have just one rule: don’t fall in love.
And they just might break it.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In Hannah Grace’s earnestly winsome novel, the meek are set to inherit true love. College junior and serial people-pleaser Halle, fresh off a breakup, is desperate to finish and submit a romance novel to a writing contest. Henry, the new captain of the Maple Hills hockey team, only wants a passing grade in a class he detests. She needs inspiration; he needs a tutor attuned to his learning style. Helping each other isn’t the issue—staying friends is. Fans of Grace’s earlier romances will be thrilled with the clever character cameos, but our attention never wavered from the adorably awkward central couple. We loved the way Henry’s neurodivergent characteristics are treated with respect by both the author and the other characters. Narrators CJ Bloom and Emmanuel Ingram find their groove early, letting the discomfort and humour of the budding relationship percolate. Daydream expands Grace’s university universe with unrelenting charm.
