Please check trigger warnings before picking up this book.

I’m glad I didn’t give up on this series. The first book was okay, I enjoyed it but wasn’t overly impressed. The second book, Daisy Haites, was not for me. Didn’t like the writing style and found it difficult to connect with the characters. This book however exceeded all of my expectations. I loved seeing glimpses from the early days of Magnolia and BJ relationship, their past, all of it. It was an emotional rollercoaster and the ending.. gosh. In a way this book made me want to re-read the first book. 5⭐️

This book had me in a CHOKEHOLD!!! Close to 700 pages and it wasn’t long enough. Why don’t I hate these characters?? I literally don’t know. Why am I rooting for them? Couldn’t tell you. 

Their back and forth should drive me crazy and it doesn’t. This book is magic. I think I love it more than I loved the first. It gives so much more context to these very complex people. I never reread books and now I want to reread book 1 knowing what I know now. This book was perfection.

You had me in the first half I can’t lie 

I thought I might actually LIKE BJ Ballentine in this book but alas I still despise that man! He’s the definition of gaslight gatekeep and I wasn’t rooting for them for one second which is Impressive in itself for a self proclaimed romance novel!! I missed Christian this book and surprisingly Daisy too but getting more Julian was a perk! 

This book just didn’t hit as well as the first two and I’m sad!

Also I’ve watched too much greys anatomy to not see the ending from a mile off (rip bridge)

The trigger warnings for this book are heavy so please look them up as I haven’t suffered from a lot of the themes presented but I struggled to read some of them! (TW: Baby Loss, Family member death, allusions to eating disorders)
