Picking Daisies on Sundays
ByPublisher Description
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.

“so fucking cute at first i was skeptical but i really loved it!! i love levi 🫦”
“I had pretty high expectations for this book considering how much people rave about it, but it just wasn’t it FOR ME. The MMC felt so gimmicky (?? I don’t know if that’s the right word but) and the story didn’t really feel natural because of the main characters! The plot itself was good, it was cute and whimsical and honestly made me so giddy while reading it!
But the male character’s whole personality just felt like it was built around being “amazing” and “cool” or this perfect gentleman who does all these extravagant things for Dani, but it felt like his entire persona was just made to serve the plot. I never really got to see a deeper or more human side of him, like an in depth version of who he actually is (probably also because we only get Dani’s POV, but I still feel like books can manage to show more personality even with that limitation).
Also Dani was lowkey pissing me off with her insecurities 😭 like Levi literally kept telling her and showing her his intentions and she still kept going on and on about his ex. I completely get it though, it happens, you know? It’s normal to feel insecure about an ex sometimes but it just reached a point where it got a bit too repetitive and frustrating to read.
But I will say, the whole plot is genuinely so adorable and cute and it made me feel giddy like I was reading a 2000s romcom. It had that soft, dreamy, slightly nostalgic vibe that makes you want to keep turning pages even if you’re a bit annoyed at the characters. The writing was okay, nothing particularly special or standout, but it was easy to read and very straightforward. It didn’t really have that lyrical or super unique style, but it fit the vibe of the story well enough and kept things light and digestible.”
