I LOVE THE HAITES!!! 
This was so good. Daisy and Christian have my whole heart please let them be happy I’m begging. Also, didn’t care for Julian as much in the other books but this one WOW love him. I now understand the Julian love. 
I appreciate there being real conflict that makes sense in these books and instead of the MC’s doubling down on their bad behavior they take a breath and work through their issues fairly quickly. 
Reading this just reminds me how much I dislike the MP books like they’re truly so bad in comparison and I only read them to get crumbs of my favs.
Cant wait to see where this story goes because that ending just about took me out. Me and Face were screaming together because WTH!!!!

I loved this book so much, it made me laugh out loud, it made me gasp, it made me forget where I was and kept me hooked… can’t wait to read the next one. Plus, loved to see a more unhinged Magnolia and a whipped Julian, like…? Yes…? And also, daisy and magnolia’s friendship was so cute to see
My fave scene was probably when the box set watched the sex tape and they all gasped and were on cloud nine that Christian had  said “daisy” and they were so savage… 
But then. The magnolias to Julian? Finding out that the accident wasn’t an accident at all?! The kidnapping? I mean I knew I would have loved to see Christian lose his shit but this… next book is gonna be wild and everyone is going to be feral. 
Lastly, I didn’t always love Julian’s shitty detached behaviour, but I see where he comes from and I honestly low key love him… my heart broke when I found out the title is after something he says about magnolia.

I have a deep love for these books and this one did not disappoint. I am obsessed with Julian Haites. Like I want every good thing in the world for him and there is just absolutely no way that I can root for the other man in Magnolia's life after reading this book and these moments from Julian's perspective. I also think Daisy Haites is an absolute badass and Christian is the sweetest male main character in this fictional world. But if I'm being honest, I'm reading these books solely for Magnolia and Julian at this point. I love Magnolia and the fact that other people love her so much and understand her magnetism and angel status, while internally she is constantly questioning herself. And I especially love the dynamic between Daisy and Magnolia because of all of this. 

This was great, I love these books, I will forever be obsessed. And Julian Haites deserves to get the girl.

What a ride this was! It's been a few days since I finished this book, and I'm still unwell and processing everything that happened.

Of course, I love Daisy & Christian together and love their development as the books progressed, but this story was all about Julian Haites for me! I have been a Julian girly since he was first introduced (Christian is a close second). He is such a complex character, so getting more of his POV in this book was everything I wanted and more.

To find out what happened with Bridget in Long Way Home had something to do with Juilan and the rival gang tore me up more than when I first read it in the last book. And the fact that he and Daisy are now on the run, not knowing that Magnolia is alright, but Bridget is gone, is going to ruin me when the time comes and he finds out


I don't know what I'm going to do until Feb. 2024!!
