I’ve been reading this through a recent breakup so it hit waaay harder. So many quotes I resonated with. So much emotion I was experiencing in my real life. I felt Daisy’s pain. I’m living it.
This book broke me but honestly I’m happy it did. I think I needed it in a way.
I think in every Daisy pov, I shed a tear or just completely bawled my eyes out. And Christian… poor Christian.
Omg Julian. I have to see what happens next. I’m going to take a little break to mend my little heart lol but these characters, I feel in my soul.
I would say I like the Daisy Haites side of it all over Magnolia Parks but I love the whole group still.
The ending tore me to pieces though.

I mean, Daisy and Christian were still extremely disfunctional, don't get me wrong. They still aren't a relationship I would ever root for in real life. However, why I liked their relationship more than Magnolia and BJ's is because it felt like they actually like each other. With Magnolia and BJ, yeah it was obvious they love each other, but the way they hurt each other constantly felt like they didn't even like each other. Christian and Daisy just had other issues going on, and difficult lives and situations that lead to them being as disfunctional as they are, but it is so clear they love and like each other the entire way through. It made everything about this so much more of an enjoyable read.
On top of that the plot in this one was rooted in like the crime/gangs/maffia scene, which made the over the topness and high dramaness of everything just feel less out of place in a way. I don't know how to explain it. It just caused for some high stakes moments, and overall it was just an extremely engaging read. I absolutely flew through it, and just didn't want to put this down at all.
On top of all of that I do just also like these characters more. I think Christian and Daisy were just really complex characters, and I quite liked seeing their developement throughout the novel. I also loved getting Julian's POV in this book. He is also an incredibly interesting character, and his POV did add quite a bit throughout this book. I hope this means he'll play a bigger part in the series because I'm quite curious to see where his character is going to go next. So yeah, I really liked this book a lot, and I'm even excited to read more about Magnolia and BJ right now.
Moderate: Grief and Homophobia
Minor: Adult/minor relationship, Rape, Drug use, and Self harm
The main character suffers from PTSD, and that’s shown quite a bit through the novel.elizabeth_helmer's review
