What happens in the elevator doesn’t stay in the elevator.

When Laura Finch’s business partner hires Skylar to bring their company to the next generation, Laura sees red. An obnoxious millennial isn’t someone she wants to work with—they’re known for failing their side hustles. Since Laura gave up everything for Solace Inc to succeed, including her dreams of marriage and family, she’s not willing to risk it on just anyone.

Skylar Ross vies to succeed in her first big contract and won’t let Laura’s sour personality get in her way. Each day she finds something else intriguing about Laura and all the fronts she puts up. With a dash of humor and hope, Skylar bets on her sunny disposition winning Laura over. What she doesn’t expect is her growing crush on a straight woman to go anywhere.

Dreams are meant to be scary. What will they risk to make theirs come true?

Don't Quit Your Daydream is an age gap, lesbian romance that deals with infertility and grief that comes with the loss of dreams. Be prepared for the ride up to the sixth floor, where all the magic happens.

This was such a great story by a great storyteller. A true age gap romance that makes you feel good. Skylar is a young, energetic, smart new business woman. Laura shares ownership of Solace with her ex husband. Business is off but after trying to get him to agree to a marketing change for many years, she is losing a battle. She needs to convince him to agree to the changes so as not to layoff employees. When Laura and Skylar meet in the elevator where Solace has been for years and now Skylar is renting also on their floor. Things get awkward. Skylar sees Laura as an older uptight woman and Laura sees Skylar as a juvenile trying to make it in the business world. But after seeing each other everyday(both needing each other) in the elevator Skylar wants to break through the wall Laura has up. Laura looks at Skylar, smiling inside at her antics but refusing to crack. Adrian Smith takes you on a journey of two women trying to make their mark. Very enjoyable!

4.0 out of 5 stars Really good slow burn, but I didn't really like the end
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2024
This was a really good ice queen age gap romance. I really liked both main characters. I loved how they interacted. I didn't always expect what happened, but it always made sense (sometimes after a little while and not immediately). They are both complicated characters with some baggage. I listened to the audiobook. That makes it hard to judge the writing, but I didn't hear any mistakes. The narrator was very good, but at times I didn't always know who was speaking. Laura and Rodney often sounded similar. I really felt for Laura and how she's been treated. But she seemed to have a backbone so I wasn't sure why she put up with so much for so long. I appreciate that Laura wanted children and applaud her decision to not have them while single. But I wasn't sure she wanted children for the right reason. Did she want them for herself or for the children themselves? Another reviewer pointed out that the firm didn't act like an actuarial firm. I wondered about that. It seemed more like a typical accounting firm. The buildup of the romance was very slow, which I really appreciated, but the end felt rushed and time passed in a blink. I didn't like the plot aspect at the end. I understand it, but just don't like it.

Enemies to lovers, age gap, ice queen, self-discovery...this book covers them all and then some. Great writing by Adrian J. Smith brings us two complex but delightful characters. When the ice melts and Laura finally realizes who she is meant to be, the chemistry between her and Skylar is off the charts.
This is a beautifully written story with a great ending and characters that will stay with you long after the book is finished. Do we expect anything less from Adrian J. Smith?

5.0 out of 5 stars Romantic and Hopeful
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2023

When they first meet in an elevator, icy, middle-aged businesswoman Laura has a briefcase full of judgements and preconceptions about the younger, upbeat entrepreneur Skylar. But when the two are forced to work together to boost Laura’s fledgling business, the antagonism slowly melts into respect and something even more unexpected.

Don’t Quit Your Daydream is a romance with a slow but perfectly paced burn. Laura is a complex character with a challenging past and Skylar, while ostensibly warmer and more open, is cautious with her heart. The mutual respect and trust builds between them in a gradual and authentic way as each woman grows as a person all while a potentially combustible attraction simmers beneath the surface. Watching these various dynamics play out is as satisfying as it is entertaining.

Don’t Quit Your Daydream is a romantic, hopeful, and engaging story that is certain to delight fans of sapphic age gap romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best age-gap ice queen stories yet.

This book has so many layers. It takes you on quite a journey of ups and downs of the relationship between Laura, a 49 yo no nonsense divorcee who’s in business with her ex, and Skylar, a positive outlook millennial who runs her own consulting company and is getting over a breakup herself. Having offices on the same floor creates many opportunities for the ladies to run into each other, whether by accident or eventually on purpose. Skylar is hired to update Laura and her ex’s business to make it more marketable and Skylar needs to convince Laura she can change both professionally and personally in how she deals with people. Laura needs to convince Skylar she needs her in her life to do that.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too wordy
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2023
Spice: 1
Overall: 3

The book seemed wordy and too long. Overall the story was amazing and cute, but we could have ended the book twice by chapter 37. I did not see the value in the extra chapters. Discovering love later in life and accepting who you are sexually was a great story. I wish, we would have gotten better closer on the ex-husband. I wanted to beat him numerous times throughout the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 25, 2023

I fell in love with these characters within the first chapter and found it hard to put the book down.

I love Adrian J. Smith's approach to the age gap trope. She avoids the common narrative of one character lamenting how it's not possible for the relationship to happen, instead she addresses all the character flaws together.

The only flaw I could find in this novel was that it had to end.

Don't Quit Your Daydream is an absolute must read!
