Review
 
I must first thank the author, Lizzie Fayke, for providing me with a copy of Daydream Believer in return for an honest review.
 
Daydream Believer is a self-published debut novel available in both eBook and paperback formats (links below).
 
The main protagonist is Sarah Collins, a daydreamer and a bit of a fantasist. Sarah suddenly finds her in the position of having to prove to some gossiping work colleagues that her rock musician boyfriend Steve really does exist. Not easy when he’s actually a figment of her imagination…! In an attempt to stop any rumours, Sarah arranges to join ‘Steve’ in the French Riviera for a brief holiday in between his touring schedule. The only challenge now is to create a holiday with ‘Steve’ worthy of Facebook and believable enough to placate her sceptical colleagues!
 
Sarah is a brilliant character: likeable and realistic. The supporting cast of characters are equally fantastic and help to set-the-stage for some of the brilliantly funny moments that Sarah finds herself embroiled in. I found myself laughing out loud at some of the antics contained in the story.
 
Lizzie Fayke has a great writing style which gave a wonderful flow to the story. The story has great pace to it and I found myself reading it in big chunks as I found that I could easily lose myself in the tale for an hour or so.
 
I am pleased to report that I thoroughly enjoyed Daydream Believer. It is a light-hearted and hugely enjoyable story, perfect for a holiday read. It is romantic, witty and (at times) laugh-out-loud funny. A tale of Sarah’s quest to find true love and the obstacles that she has to overcome along the way! Daydream Believer certainly left me with a smile on my face.
