Daisy

by J P Henderson

In my opinion, the world can be divided into two types of one happy to talk about themselves, and the other not. I belong to the latter category. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Herod S Pinkney and I'm in love with a girl called Daisy Lamprich. I think that's enough to be going on with. Written in his own words, and guided by a man who collects glasses in a local pub, this is the story of Herod "Rod" Pinkney's search for Daisy Lamprich, a young woman he first sees on a decade-old episode of the Judge Judy Show, and who he now intends to marry. When Daisy is located in the coastal city of Huntington Beach, California, he travels there with his good friend and next-door neighbor, Donald, a man who once fought in the tunnels of Cu Chi during the Vietnam War and who now spends most of his time in Herod's basement. Herod is confident that the outcome will be favorable, but there's a problem. Will the course of true love ever run smoothly for this unlikely hero? A funny and touching story of an improbable and heart-warming quest to find true love, Daisy is perfect for fans of The Rosie Project and Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine.

I was looking for a light-hearted book with a simple storyline, and my friend lent me this one.

I liked it because it did what it needed to do: it managed to keep my attention, made me connect with the characters, and occasionally had me chuckling. It even ended up surprising me with its little plot twist.

If you expect to be blown away, this is not the book. But if you are looking for an easy read to relax and pass some time, it is!

This is not a love story, It is Rod adventure in life plus Daisy.

A somehow similar to the movie "a man called otto".

The book is great specially how it looks like the POV of the main author.

The only downside that I see is the long chapters. Im not really fan of long chapters unless it is a sci-fi genres books.
