Daydream

Description

On a fictional college campus where expectations run high, Halle Jacobs—an empath with a habit of putting everyone else first—finds her carefully managed world shifting as she grows closer to Henry Turner, a hockey star trying to juggle team leadership with demanding academics. Told through their alternating first-person voices, their slow-burn connection deepens during junior year, moving from tutoring and late-night conversations toward the possibility of something more intimate than either planned. When Halle reveals she’s writing a romance novel for a competition, Henry offers to help her by taking her on dates that spark the experiences she needs—turning his own struggles with responsibility into a chance to show up for her. With themes of self-prioritization, emotional honesty, and the difference between daydreaming and choosing, this opposites-attract, friends-to-lovers romance delivers Hannah Grace’s signature blend of heartfelt tension and character-driven longing.
