If you are a fan of the “insta-love” trope, this book is definitely for you. Not my favorite but I liked it.

I am so not into insta love or anything this book is about. It was hard to get into and hard to stay in. The main character is so unlikable and really doesn’t have many redeeming qualities.

This is an excellent book, you will struggle to put it down, leaving you wanting more, highly recommended

"A Florist Called Daisy" by Elsie G. Beya is a heartwarming romance that blooms with charm. The story is filled with blossoming love and the magic of flowers. A delightful read.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!! I loved the title, the characters.... the whole package.
Yes, Daisy is a florist who isn't interested in love until Stewart Burns enters her life through music.
While there is self-harm in this book, it is met with love and tenderness over time.
Enjoy every page of this book, you will not regret it. Thank you Elsie Beya and Net Galley!

This is your typical romance novel.

The description pretty much sums the book up. It’s a lovely love story but once you’ve read a few, they all kind of merge into one.

It was a good story and if you’re an avid romance reader you will like it.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with this book.

A very charming story about a florist and a musician. I really enjoyed this story, however the FMC felt very pick-me. Fights in the story were quickly resolved, which is great but I wish there would have been a little bit more groveling.

DNF @ 30% for me.

I so wanted to enjoy this book. At times, I did.
It is instant attraction, which for me is better than insta love. Well I guess Stewart was a little lovey. But the pacing was slow and I just kept starting other books instead of continuing picking this up to finish.

- Rockstar
- fade to black/behind closed doors
- insta attraction


Thanks NetGalley, Atmosphere Press, & Elise G. Beya for the chance to read the ARC of A Florist Called Daisy. This is my true and honest review.

good romance between a band member and a floirst . love that she has friends and slowly finding a way to have a relationship with him. love her friends and that she wants to protect them. good story.

I read this in a couple days. I enjoyed the soulmate story and it had such a great pace and great banter. I did get frustrated with certain situations and how things were handled. It was fun and full of sadness. I liked being invested in the main characters journey and watching them find themselves as individuals and as a couple.

Full of cute references from pop culture and classic novels. The cover is also beautiful! My 90s grunge heart was very happy.

The universal themes of not being enough, trying to be independent, and how hard it can be to let go of control, might relate to most of us, I'm guessing. I definitely feel linked to those.

And indeed, to real friends you don't have to apologize for being you, right?
I found this book to be very real and relatable.

An insta-love type trope between florist Daisy and famous musician Stewart when they met by chance at an after party. Daisy’s best friend is obsessed with the band and Stewart but was in the hotel room with a migraine and couldn’t attend. Daisy and Stewart shave a secret relationship which actually was portrayed well and I enjoyed. I didn’t like how she kept it a secret from her friend Izzie for so long. Although to be fair Izzie really was a terrible friend, however Stewart didn’t deserve that.

I did find Daisy to be too much at times with her whining and acting not good enough. Stewart really changed for her and it was obvious his love was deep and he wanted 100% in return. It was sad when Daisy couldn’t do that. Stewart was so understanding and gave it his all. I wanted to shake Daisy!

The writing was engaging and although a bit on the long side it was an easy read. I loved the grandma in the story as well! The interaction with Stewart and the grandma “nan” was precious.

Special thanks to Netgalley, Atmosphere Press Publishing and Author Elsie Beya for the advanced copy of this E-book to read and review. #AFloristCalledDaisy #Netgalley

I feel as if reading this some other time would have meant I actually finished it, however I just can't get into the story right now.

The FMC is giving me very much 'pick me' vibes and thinking she is better than women, including her friend. And they should not be friends, lol. The MMC is okay. I just could not care about this characters, at all and that's what draws me into a story - a connection with at least one of its characters.

The pacing was also very slow and the plot was just...leaving me bored. I really did try but I honestly couldn't get into this story.

Maybe I could give it a go some other time, though.

📚A Florist Called Daisy - Elsie G. Beya
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 / 5

This book is about a girl names Daisy who was pushed to go to a concert for a band she didn't even like by her "best friend." When she snuck into the after party, she noticed that the lead sing, Stewart Burns, was sitting right beside her. One thing led to another and then came a rocky relationship.

In this story you see happiness, sadness, heartbreak, love, people finding out who they really are, awful "best friends," and just the cutest grandma. When I say this book was a rollercoaster, I 100% mean that it's a rocky road. But I absolutely adored this book. I loved going on this journey with the characters and seeing a soul mate type of love grow!

The one person I absolutely HATED in this book is Izzie. She was supposed to be Daisy's best friend but she was always sooo mean to her. She seems like an entitled brat. Idc how much trauma she has been through, no one should act like that. But it made the storyline great so I really don't hate that she was in it. Every book has to have a villain, right?

I highly recommend this book, but I would suggest checking trigger warning before you read it.

Thank you netgalley and atmospherepress for sending me a copy of this ebook!! This review is very honest and my original opinions.

A really enjoyable read, characters you can relate to and a story line to become invested in, one to download to your kindle

I went in completely blind with this one. As always it was the cover that drew me to the book and the fact that it had a bit of Rockstar romance made it all the better. I really enjoyed it

I was curious about this story as a romance between a florist and a rock-star is a bit unusual.
I loved how Daisy evolved in this story and the chemistry between her and Stewart.
It's not a perfect book, it drags at times, but there's a lovely story and the author is a good storyteller.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

The plot of this story had grabbed my attention and I was so intrigued! I knew I would love it.

Unfortunately it was slow going and it didn’t grab my attention like I thought it would. I overall thought it was a good read for the genre and story for romance. For me, I just couldn’t connect like I wanted to.

I will definitely recommend this to other readers!

This was a nice quick read. I related to Daisy because I too have trouble expressing my feelings. My walls are a defense mechanism. Unfortunately, people have disappointed me too many times and I've been told my feelings are wrong. Why would I share them freely? I've been told they aren't valid, so I'll keep them to myself. Anyways, this story was cute. Love at first sight. Soulmates. Daisy is caught off guard by Stewart because he is definitely not her usual type, but the chemistry on both ends is unmistakable. Both have some issues though. One thrives being the center of attention, while the other values their privacy and introverted tendencies...hello hi, that's me too! Daisy has some other issues and ways to cope with stress that aren't exactly easy to handle. It does become a problem for both as they navigate this relationship. Along with the fact that she's hiding this relationship from her best friend. Opening up is scary. Change is scary. Life is a scary mess at times, but sometimes you need to step out of that comfort zone... life or your soulmate may just pass you by.

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre: General Fiction (Adult), Romance

Well, this was a perfect read for me, a beautiful romance, intelligent characters, but with Flaws, some pretty big ones that affected them and the story hugely.
Those flaws, the bits that made it feel so real were handled really well. The self harm aspect, I really understood the motivation, and the feeling of release. Its something so often misunderstood, and of course, so difficult to control, along with that feeling it must be hidden at all costs.
The friendship issue, the Girls Code, made for some interesting moments, and for me showed that Daisy's friend was actually anything but. There's a line in the Girl ( and Bro) Code, but there's delusions of fantasy and for Daisy to not date Stewart because her friend felt he was her OTP was just ridiculous. They'd never dated, Stewart wasn't interested and had made that clear. Thankfully Stewart was very persuasive.
Towards the end I did get a bit irritated towards Daisy when she still was trying to hide their relationship from her friend, going to some extraordinary excuses to do so. That just wasn't fair on Stewart. Of course that leads to some drama, some heartbreak, all of which make for a perfect romance for me, I like a few potholes on the way to a HEA ;-)

Stars: Five, a really fun read, with some very thought provoking parts. And fab flowers, which as a flower lover I really appreciated.
