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.
