I feel like the format was v similar to the first book which was a bit annoying. I also wish the characters were a bit older.
I liked Christians POV after meeting him more in the first book and liked the added drama of the gang lifestyle.
I do wish more actual descriptions and fleshing out of the characters happened rather than telling us what they’re like. It feels a little superficial and I don’t get why people are so in love with these people because they’re mostly vapid and not v 3 dimensional.
But I’m reading it so 🤷🏼♀️😂
They could do with another edit, some plot holes and it’s longer than it needs to be but it’s an easy read

Christian Hemmes is my fave person ever and I can't imagine reading one more book before getting back to Daisy and Christian ughhh! The way Daisy thinks and expresses her thoughts about Christian, especially her fan girl moments, are so relatable. I much prefer being in Daisy and Christian's heads than Magnolia and BJ's because Daisy and Christian actually make sense together.
I did not expect the plot twists, I did not expect to love it like I do. The writing is phenomenal and I could read anything by Jessa Hastings.
Totally random but the mention of Clayhall and Barkingside like that's not so close to where I live in London and aren't areas I visit all the time?? Everything about this book is my fave!
Also, I know some people don't like the footnotes but they're so easy to read on a Kindle.
Reread 11/06/23: Read my review above and just know that I concur x100.

Daisy is a badass who is easy to root for. She’s trying to balance her normal life of being a university medical student, with being the sister of one of the most powerful gang lords in England. Not to mention her off again, on again relationship with her childhood sweetheart, Romeo. Christian is struggling with his lingering feelings for Magnolia, and his new burgeoning feelings for Daisy. Even though he’s a gang lord as well doesn’t mean that he and Daisy are without conflict. Julian tries to do right by his sister, but will his crime lifestyle finally come between them?
This is another emotional read from this series and I can’t wait to read the next one.

With that portion out of the way - this book took me a little longer to read because 1. it's a big boi and 2. I just started a new job and I'm tired all the time. However, I loved my time with Daisy. I thought the three unique perspectives (Daisy, Christian & Julian) were intriguing and often heartbreaking as well as soooo funny. I loved getting to know the characters in Daisy's world better, as well as getting to know Daisy herself. There is so much about her to love, and like the other characters - a lot about her to hate, but that's what I love even more about her. She's just a person living in extraordinary circumstances, and really, that's what all of these characters are. They are so messy and half the time they're doing things you can't stand, but you still want them to win.
I am both excited and afraid to read MP: The Long Way Home. 😂
