Picking Daisies on Sundays

De: Liana Cincotti

Narrado por: Stevi Incremona, Andrew Gibson

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.

Picking Daisies on Sundays

This book made me laugh out loud, cry out loud, and at times it also made me want to throw something at the wall. But that’s my favorite kind of book: the kinds that make me feel all of the emotions, the kinds that throw me for a complete loop. Liana Cincotti took a classic storyline and made it happen, but in a way you wouldn’t expect. It had all the happy ending, but it took a windy ride to get there. I must admit that at times I hated Dani, because of her complete oblivion, but that is what makes a book. Loving the characters, but also hating them. Similar to how a person would feel about a good friend, which in the end, Dani and Levi felt to be. I feel I must add that this book was a closed-door romance, with only kissing, which I greatly appreciated.
I just want to say, thank you, Liana Cincotti, for letting me escape life for a few days and fall into this book. I really enjoyed it :)
