I love this universe so much! 

I am honestly trying to figure out why these are considered contemporary romance novels. I honestly think these are just adult fictions with heavy coming of age themes. I felt that a little with the first book and I feel it even more now. Especially since none of the relationships are anything to really aspire to. I think her brother Julian is more drama than BJ. 

I had to read about halfway before I got comfortable with Daisy. I found myself still looking for Magnolia in the beginning, because I truly think she is my favorite. However where Magnolia had me in my fluttery feels, Daisy keeps you extremely grounded. Which is isn’t a bad thing! 

I am giving this 4.5 stars, there were just a few things (like the footnotes in Daisy perspective) that kept me from completely lingering in Daisy’ viewpoint, like I did in Magnolia.

I’m sorry but Daisy Haites 🌼 just doesn’t do it for me. I didn’t buy the relationships and what is with all those footnotes?!!!
