Daisies & Devin by Kelsey KingsleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
What’s Your Favourite Dream?
This is a poignantly sweet book about two friends who fall in love. Devin is 6ft5 of gorgeous carpenter who happens to sing and play guitar. He works for his Dad and loves music but never really follows up on his dream. He meets a purple haired beauty, Kylie, at a frat party neither of them wants to be at and he rescues her from a pest. Both really likes the other, but Kylie isn’t in a place to get involved and Devin is a bit scared of his attraction to Kylie. So they become friends. The best of friends. It’s a friendship that comes to mean everything to both of them. When you have a friendship like that, you become scared to rock the boat.
This book is about dreams. The dreams you make when you are young and the ones that sneak up on you through living your life. It’s about recognising which dreams mean the most and fighting for them, but it’s also about making dreams come true for the people you care about. It’s also about the paralysis of fear, that prevents you from living your full life.
This author is gifted at seeing into the deep dark hearts of her characters and ripping them open for her readers. She explores the nuances of their hopes and fears and shares them with us. I love how her characters are at once lovable and engaging, whilst being flawed at the same time. Her characters are not perfect and this makes them more more real.
This is an engaging and well written book that isn’t your run-of-the-mill ‘friends to lovers’ or ‘rock’ novel.
