The majority of this book is just filling in gaps for Magnolia Parks: The Long Way Home. It would probably be more enjoyable as a tandem read because you already know how the story goes so there’s nothing really new or surprising.

Daisy is an absolute badass though and I am here for it. Loved seeing the softer side of Christian (and Julian).

The development of Daisy's and Magnolia’s relationship is the hero of this book for me. Was so nice to see Magnolia be able to help and support Daisy despite how guarded Daisy is around her.

The final two chapters are heart wrenching, which all MPU books seem to be.

 am laying here in my bed, fresh off of finishing this book, staring at the ceiling and simply asking: jessa WHY?????

Anyway, I have never loved a series as much as I love the MPU, at least not as an adult. The last time I loved a series like this, I was 14 and had just read Twilight. Nothing else ever stuck in my head that long until last year when I read the first book and everything changed.

so obviously I loved this installment, it made me cry, I annotated the hell out of it, and I'm (sort of) patiently awaiting the next one. In the meantime, I just got some merch so I'm really excited about that.

Was this Daisy’s book? Because I couldn’t tell. 


I love Daisy Haites. She is one of my favorite characters I LOVE HER. so color me surprised when this book became the Magnolia Parks show! Why. Don’t get me wrong, I like Magnolia. But if I’m reading Daisy’s book, I want to read about Daisy. 

But from what we did get from Daisy and Christian I was obsessed. I love them always and I’m fully convinced they’re soulmates. Really excited to see what the rest of this series has for me!

Daisy Haites: The Great Undoing is the 4th book in the Magnolia Parks Universe series. Daisy has moved out of The Compound with her brother and is now living on her own. She’s trying to live the normal life she desperately wants, and that includes dating sexy NCA agent Killian Tiller.  She’s also on year 3 of med school. She often thinks of Christian and that leaves her conflicted about her relationship with Tiller. Not to mention that she misses her brother Julian, even though they are mad at each other at the beginning of the book.

This fourth book really ramps up the angst and drama, as well as the suspense.  Jessa Hastings has successfully woven together elements of the third book in the series The Long Way Home and this book into a action packed ending. Can’t wait for the next book!

My only complaint is that there are certain phrases that get over used: jaw goes tight, squint, sniffs a laugh, eyes go round, etc that gets used way too frequently. It reminds me of Jennifer L. Armentrout’s  uses of some words and/or phrases. It got frustrating to read and took me out of the book. That’s why I couldn’t give it a full 5 stars.

i will never get tired of jessa hastings’ writing. i read this book in one sitting, and was hooked on it from the first page. this book was insane in the best way, and i absolutely adore seeing christian and daisy together. it was also extremely interesting to see julians pov of magnolia and i felt so bad for him throughout the whole book.
