This book had everything that I loved about MP1 and more. I fucking love the MPU because it is just pure escapism for me. I lose myself in the pages and for awhile I simply don't think about the things that are hurting me in my real life and cry over these fictional british messes. It's everything to me. The books aren't objectively perfect (no book is, not even most of my favorites), and you're entitled to your opinion, but they make ME happy.
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. 😂
