Laurie Gilmore’s newest romance novel, The Daisy Chain Flower Shop, has earned a major spot on the latest USA TODAY best-selling books list, ranking No. 5 among the top-selling books in the United States this week.
The novel continues the strong momentum of Gilmore’s popular Dream Harbor series, which has become a favorite among romance readers online and in bookstores.
According to USA TODAY, the weekly ranking combines print and electronic book sales from bookstore chains, independent bookstores, mass retailers and online sellers.
The Daisy Chain Flower Shop joined the list shortly after its May 2026 release and marked another milestone for Gilmore, whose cozy romance stories continue to grow in popularity.
The book follows Daisy, a flower shop owner in the small town of Dream Harbor, who believes she may be unlucky in love after several weddings tied to her flower arrangements end in divorce. Her shop’s reputation gets even worse after Mayor Kelly claims the store is cursed.
Things begin to change when Elliot, a newcomer to town recovering from his own failed relationship, walks into the flower shop and becomes part of Daisy’s life.
The story includes popular romance tropes such as fake dating, found family and friends-to-lovers themes.
The Daisy Chain Flower Shop is the sixth book in the Dream Harbor series. Previous titles include The Pumpkin Spice Café, The Cinnamon Bun Book Store, The Christmas Tree Farm, The Strawberry Patch Pancake House, and The Gingerbread Bakery.
Gilmore’s books have become especially popular on TikTok and among readers looking for cozy small-town romance stories. Videos about the Dream Harbor series have reportedly gained more than 26 million views on TikTok, helping the books appear on multiple bestseller lists over the past few years.

Goodreads readers have also responded positively to The Daisy Chain Flower Shop. The novel currently holds a 4.01 rating from more than 8,000 readers on the platform.
In a recent interview with CBS News’ Club Calvi podcast, Gilmore spoke about the unexpected mix of sweet covers and spicy romance scenes in the series.
“Yes, that does catch people off guard,” Gilmore said. “Those covers are real sweet, real cute. You can read them on public transportation and nobody knows what's inside. And that's a good feature.”
She also explained that her editor encouraged her to increase the romance elements while writing earlier books in the series.
“My editor was like, you can up it. People like that. Then we added spice. People are surprised, but I think they like it.”
During the same interview, Gilmore described Daisy as a character struggling after heartbreak and returning home to rebuild her life.
“We find poor, sweet Daisy in a low moment,” Gilmore explains. “She has had some breakups. She's come out of some serious relationships. She's back in Dream Harbor after having been gone for a little while.”
Entertainment outlet Cosmopolitan described the story as “a fake relationship twist that will absolutely make you feel real feelings about what is going down.”
Gilmore, whose real name is Melissa McTernan, lives in Upstate New York with her husband and children. Before becoming a full-time writer, she was a stay-at-home mother. Along with the Dream Harbor books, she also writes fantasy romance novels under her real name.
With The Daisy Chain Flower Shop now ranking among the country’s top-selling books, the Dream Harbor series continues to show strong demand from romance readers looking for cozy settings and fan-favorite tropes.
