I want to start of by saying a huge thank you to author Daisy Wren for providing me with an e-arc of this gorgeous book!
Pretty Like the Wildflowers is a beautiful fast paced book that will make you smile, giggle and laugh, it might even make you cry, both sad and happy tears. I for sure cried at certain points.
It has amazing anxiety/depression representation and is so well written in such an accurate way that made me feel so seen as a person who struggles with very similar things as our main character Juniper does. One thing that touched me deeply is how the people surrounding Juniper doesn't see her anxiety as a burden, it's not something that they brush off as nothing or get annoyed at. They just accept her and are there for her whenever she needs them and that's so beautiful to see and definitely had me crying at certain points.
Juniper is such a wonderful character, she's just a ray of sunshine who cares so deeply about everyone. I love her so much.
Then there's Addison, she's confident, sexy, beautiful and comfortable in herself. A bit grumpy at first but once you get to know her she is just as soft and warm as Juniper. I love her so much as well.
Juniper and Addison just fit together perfectly. One thing I particularly love about their relationship is how tender it is. They are so unbelievably cute together and the way they care so deeply for each other is just to die for. While they have some beautiful more vulnerable scenes together they are definitely freaky as fuck. These women devour each other, they melt for each other, they worship each other. The spice in this was so good and as someone who only enjoys spice if it's well done and works for the plot, I am happy to say that the spice in this was perfect. The spicy scenes felt very intimate and balanced, they were there for a reason and really brought the story forward. It never felt out of place or like it was there just "because".
The only small criticism I have is that at times it felt like the author told me things instead of me getting to find out by continuing with the reading. Though it's nothing that made the book bad, I am still giving this 5 stars!!
Overall I HIGHLY recommend checking this out!! I flew through it and didn't realise I was at the end of the book until I came to the epilogue... That's how GOOD this book was!!!!

This is my favorite adult sapphic romance I have read. Full Stop. The storyline is heartbreaking but so warm and cozy and beautiful at the same time, it truly feels like you experience the entire 3 month timeline along with the characters, the anxiety and depression representation is written fantastically, more accurate and hard hitting than I have ever read and the most similar to my own I have ever read before. Trust though, yes this book has its sad moments, but it is beautiful and happy and a true love story for the ages.
The romance in this book is HOT, this book is capital S Spicy, but the perfect amount, not too spicy that it takes the attention away from the main storyline, but not too little that the lust the characters have for each other isn’t believable. I completely promise, that the attraction between the two main characters is BELIEVABLE, they are HOT together, they WORSHIP each other, they MELT for each other. And it’s good spice too, it’s written beautifully and honestly it’s just so hot.
Addison. The HOTTEST horse rider, barrel jumper, teacher, whatever that girl does on the horses, she’s the hottest at it. Her WORDS, just how she SPEAKS like damn, way to melt a girl, Addison truly is the new gold standard every girl out there should aim for, she’s SO hot. I loved her little vulnerable moments too though, that made her an even better character, when she got jealous (so many times) over people just looking or being nice to Juniper, when Juniper truly was only interested in Addison from the moment she walked into that induction. The Jealousy, The possessiveness. Every mannerism is just everything, how she speaks. Addison is H O T.
Juniper works at Forget Me Not Ranch, it’s where she has lived for most of her life with her loved up parents, and now she is about to welcome a bunch of new summer staff to help the ranch through the Summer Season. Junipers mental health is talked about a lot throughout this book, as it should be, because of how much it takes up of Junipers life, she is an over-thinker and gets overwhelmed easily, so she has to take her anxiety into account and plan for things that may trigger it, such as a group of new people at her home, or a busy shopping trip. I am also a huge over-thinker so having a character in a book whos thought process is incredibly similar to mine actually felt really nice, like I understood Juniper more than the average reader could, like we sort of share a brain? Like I get her on a deeper level? Reading Junipers growth as she learns to trust and not overthink how Addison feels about her was really important to me, it made me happy that someone like me can find and learn to trust someone so much, and not have to overthink and over analyze every interaction. It gave a girl a little bit of Hope if you will. Thank You so much for this beautiful love story. I can not WAIT to read what happens next!

Juniper’s life takes an unexpected turn when the help for this summer turns out to be Addison, who also happens to be Juniper's first and only one night stand. 👀❤️🔥
Daisy beautifuly portrays Juniper's caring and loving nature💛, highlighting her bravery and love for the animals as she manages hher anxiety while contributing to her family's farm!
Pretty Like Wildflowers explores the blooming of Juniper and Addison's feelings, from their meeting being awkward and prickly to them soon being each other’s obsession. 🔥
Yes, it does get heated.👀❤️🔥
Addison's presence brings a new dynamic to Juniper's life, encouraging her to step outside her comfort zone in the best way. 🫂
As someone who struggles badly with anxiety and can relate massively to Juniper, I can say this book is written with care and has honestly made me feel seen.❤️
Addison may seem grumpy at first, but she’s just as warm as Juniper!! Don’t let her tough persona fool you!
Pretty Like Wildflowers being set on her family farm adds a sense of of familiarity as Juniper is surrounded by her friends, family and everything she loves. Now, including Addison as she’s reintroduced to Juniper’s life.
This story will remain close to my heart, the characters, the love, the banter, everything. Everything was perfect and so beautifully crafted together. A true love story.

ARC REVIEW | Pretty Like the Wildflowers by Daisy Wren took a little piece of my heart and held onto it.
Let’s start with Juniper. Her anxiety representation felt so tender and honest. She’s vulnerable, soft, deeply caring — and as someone who lives with an anxiety disorder, I saw so much of my younger self in her. The hesitation, the second-guessing, the constant measuring of space and safety… it was all there. You could feel the restraint in her choices as the story unfolded, the carefulness in how she moved through the world. Reading her felt like being seen in a way that was quiet but powerful.
And then there’s Addison. Confident. Dominant. Completely comfortable in her power. She walks into a room and owns it — and yes, she absolutely carries that same energy behind closed doors. I loved that contrast between her strength and the way she became a steady, safe place for Juniper. She didn’t overpower her — she grounded her. She protected her. She knew her. There was something so beautiful about watching Juniper soften into that safety.
The intimacy in this book felt balanced and intentional — especially in a sapphic relationship where the pleasure felt mutual, equal, and deeply cared for. Nothing performative, nothing one-sided. Just soft, intentional connection that felt precious and earned.
I adored this one. It felt tender and empowering all at once, and I already know I need a physical copy on my shelf!

I. Absolutely. Loved. This. Book! This has got to be my favorite read of the year so far! I’m so happy that I was able to read this a little early cause I couldn’t put it down! I laughed, I cried, I giggled until my feet were kicking. I adored this story so much. It was the perfect story. I loved the length and the detail in it so much. Addison is the classic grumpy girl who turns into putty in Juniper’s hands and it’s perfect. The detail during Juniper’s anxious episodes was explained very well, in my personal opinion, mostly cause it was worded much like my mind acts when I’m anxious. And I really appreciated that everyone in Juniper’s life doesn’t just pass it off and her being difficult or anything and are actually there to listen and be there’s for her to make sure she’s okay. Addison’s reactions to Juniper’s episodes is the cutest thing in the world. Those little details for her making sure she knows how to help her was beautiful. I just can’t say enough good things about this book. And all of those things don’t even include the spice! Wow! I LOVED the spice in this book so much. It’s hot, it’s kinky, it’s loving… it’s just all beautiful.
I loved being able to sit with this book for a few days and I cannot wait for you all to read it!

-ARC REVIEW-
This book was absolutely gorgeous. It had me in a pool of tears by the end. Addison and Juniper are just perfect together. They are the epitome of opposites attract. Addison is a bit of a hard head. She's got a tough exterior but deep down, she's full of love and holds her own grief. Juniper is a jumble of anxiety (like me). She's shy and introverted and worries way to much about the small things. Together they are perfect. Addison bring Juniper down and Juniper breaks Addison's hard shell.
This was such a sweet story that I never wanted to end. I loved it so much. Their chemistry was just so good. Literally everytime they were together I had tears in my eyes. Just the way they love each other was just so heartwarming. Addison's dirty talk though? It had me sweating. She's definitely a dom and I love that for her. The spice was definitely spicing😉.
And let me just talk about Juni's family. They were so supportive of her with her anxiety and depression and her relationship with Addie. It's so heartwarming to see. When I tell you the ending had me in tears, I literally soaked my pillow.

ARC reader here! Let me start by saying, I wanted to wrap Juni up and protect her from everything that could ever hurt her. She is precious and deserves all the love and protection in the world. Her and Addison were so cute together! They were so sweet, caring, and dedicated to each other even when they knew everything was going to end between them. I love how supportive they were of each other and how easily Addison meshed with Juni’s family. The new people on the ranch were great, and I certainly hope we get Oakley’s story next!

You’ve heard of cowboy romance��� but have you tried cowgirl romance?
Pretty like the Wildflowers is a heartfelt and sweet FF romance following Juniper and Addison, who work together on a ranch. Their chemistry is fire, and Daisy Wren definitely brings the heat along with the heart (what I love about her writing!)
This story had me smiling from start to finish. I can never resist an American ranch setting filled with wide-open spaces and horses, and combined with a cute love story I’m totally sold!
Thank you to Luna Literary Management for the ARC.

Juniper and Addison’s story is so flipping cute and sweet! I just loved them together.
💛Grumpy x sunshine
💛One night turned more
💛Workplace romance
💛Anxiety and depression rep
Juniper and Addison had one amazing night together and never expected to see each other again.
Now Addison is working at Juniper’s family farm and they are forced to be in proximity of each other.
Juni wears her heart on her sleeve and Addison is the complete opposite. And that totally worked for them.
Daisy brings us a world of sweet, yet spicy and everything in between!

2.75/3⭐️
This was a cute and quick read. It was also my first sapphic novel. Things I loved: how Addison was so in tune with Junipers anxiety and was trying to make sure she was comfortable all the time, the other friends seem fun (I wish we could have gotten more) and horses duh.
The things I didn’t like so much: I didn’t see too much growth in their relationship, they basically just had s*x all the time and I wish we could have gotten more just in general.
Thank you Daisy Wren and Luna Literary for the eARC!

This book was an emotional whirlwind. It has been a long while since a book has manage to hook me enough to binge it in one sitting. This book also following an author quicker than I had before. First book I've read by this author and it definitely won't be the last. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
