This book was smoother than the second part. It is very beautifully written, some parts gave me goosebumps. Even though I know, and it is very obvious that Nick and Noah are in a very toxic relationship, you still can’t stop hoping for those two. This is thanks in part to the various pov’s. ( Which I always like in a book.)

Nick’s character continues to have two sides, when he opens his heart you are his whole world. But if he closes himself off, makes his heart a stone, he can really hurt you with words and doesn’t care, how hard he hurts you. Very interesting to know from his POV, why he reacts the way he does and how his train of thought goes.

For Noah, it’s different. Without Nick, Noah is actually very sensitive, friendly and playful. But with Nick, I think she constantly feels like she has to hold up her shield, ready to defend against an onslaught of words. Yet in this book. When they are in love, they are so sweet to each other. You hardly recognize this during the loud arguments.

As in the previous two books, there are also the very intimate scenes. But if you don’t like reading these kinds of scenes as much, I can reassure you, there aren’t that many of them. (🌶️)

Several plot twists made me want to keep reading the book. If you want to know if Noah and Nick get their happy ending, I definitely recommend this book. But you will then have to read part one and part two of the series as well.

I finally finished reading Daydream. It was hard to find time for it but I was always happy when I could spare some time for Henry and Halle. 

The book touches on several topics such as performance pressure and accompanying (failure) fears, as well as the pressure not to disappoint your family and friends. But the book also shows how important it is to find the right friends, who understands you, don’t judge you and find a way to cope correctly. 

I myself could empathize very hard with both characters. Both Halle’s need to do good for everyone and Henry’s pressure to not want to disappoint anyone, and therefore kind of ignore his own desires. Also, the sense of loneliness Halle experiences and the insecurities that come back to growing friendships is something I think many people struggle with. Therefore, I think it is a very relatable book, and nice to know that you are not the only one going through this.

Now enough about the heavy topics, the growing romance, from friends to lovers, between Halle and Henry is a very fine plot to read. They are very cute and complement each other perfectly in their search for themselves. As in the other two books in the series, passion is also part of it. ( 🌶️🌶️) 

I also really like that we still get an insight into the lives of the other Maple Hills friends and that they are part of this story as well.
