I relate to Magnolia a bit too much for my liking. 

The ending to the Magnolia Parks portion of the series was so bittersweet. Magnolia’s relationship with her sister Bridget was so beautiful to read about and I already miss them so much. 
Reading about these characters was heartbreaking and also so stressful lol. I miss this universe already.

I think the most heartbreaking + beautiful thing I've ever read is that scene where BJ lets Magnolia take his pulse and she falls asleep for the first time in weeks immediately afterwards. I cant.

I’ve mixed feelings about this book but I’m so glad that the story of BJ and M is done. But it makes me sad that Julian didn’t end up with Magnolia. Drama of book was good, writing was good, it was a page turner but there wasn’t any moment for me to connect like I did in previous books of this universe. Now I truly want to read DH asap. I miss Daisy & Christian

Can’t say there was really any plot in this but is there ever with the Magnolia and BJ books? It’s just drama but I loved it. She FINALLY saw a therapist. Been dying for her to since book 1. The shift from how much I hated BJ in book 1 to loving him in book 5 is insane. Didn’t think it was possible I’d even warm up to liking the guy but then he goes and says and does the things he does in Into The Dark and how can you not end up loving him? 

Julian. I need to know what the hell is going on there. And Christian and Daisy towards the end of this one. What the hell?! I need an eta on the next Daisy Haites book immediately!
