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.
