Daydreamer: A Proxy Short Story by Alex London
4.0
•3.5
I was originally going to give this a 3 star rating but the ending, more specifically Knox’s character development, saved this & added a .5 more to this. We LOVE a sappy, cute character development.
I had quite a few problems with this book - I feel as if nothing HAPPENED during the first 75% of this book, they were just running... nothing crazy & interesting until they actually met up with the Gordis. Also, the things that did happen during the first 75% was purely a filler in my mind.. a random flash flood, really? The filler was unnecessary & did not add to the story whatsoever for me. As well, the sexual tension between Marie & Knox was SO out of place. Everytime Knox said/thought something sexual/desirable about Marie, it was at the wrong time and once again, did not add to the story.
BUT, as I mentioned, the ending saved this for me. Everyone knew it was coming, but Knox giving up his life for Syd’s is going to undeniably pull at heart strings & make a smile grow on your face because YES. The rich kid who was spoiled by the system has a heart deep down & is willing to save his proxy.
