This is like 5+ stars. 

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 wanted Daisy and Christian to end up together so badly. But life happens, and it could be right person wrong time. And Daisy deserves normalcy.

I was genuinely shocked when I was reading the acknowledgments and saw that this book had an editor. Like actually I'm not even joking. I think this is the most misogynistic and sexist book I've ever read. I am baffled that people can read this and feel even a semblance of enjoyment. I cannot effectively express how God-awful this book is

sajūta tāda, ka esmu tagad sarauta, izurbta, saplēsta un salikta no jauna. es nezinu, kā mam justies. es ienīstu beigu daļu, bet tajā pašā laikā tās ir tik labas beigas. man nav vārdu, lai pateiktu, kā es jūtos. šobrīd ir tikai gandrīz izžuvusi asara un bezemocionāla seja. es zinu, ka man sāp, bet es nejūtu neko. šausmas, šī grāmata ir fantastiska

I am never going to recover from reading this book. I fell in love with Daisy and Julian, had mixed feelings about Christian, found an absolute appreciation for Henry (best side character EVER, you cannot convince me otherwise), and then had all of my feelings twisted, wrenched, and torn to tiny bits before being tossed out a moving car window.

headinthepages's review

I still don’t know what to think about these books but I started this as soon as I finished magnolia parks so obviously I am compelled to read!

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

Wow this was SUCH a good book I’m tempted to give it 5 stars! Christian and Daisy absolutely stole my heart. I loved seeing their relationship/Christian’s side of everything. I think this book was perfectly toxic without being outright abusive and it was amazingggg! Major Gossip Girl vibes except instead of school it’s a gang lol. I don’t think I’d change anything about this book and I’m excited to read their next one! I’ll have to suffer through Parks and BJ first but I’ll do it for Daisy <3 The only thing that is keeping this from a 5 star is certain times Christian was so clueless it was painful (but that’s men I guess lmaoooo)
