This was sooo much easier to get through than “Magnolia Parks”. 

Both books are very good and entertaining, don’t get me wrong, but Daisy and Christian (particularly Daisy) are so much more likeable than Magnolia and BJ. 

Daisy was a wonderful character - I never felt annoyed with her, not really. At least not on the same degree as I did with Magnolia. 

I am so excited to read the next Daisy Haites book - I need to know how this ends.

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 definitely liked this one more than the Magnolia Parks. It was ever so slightly less toxic, the story itself was more entertaining and the way the author tied the two stories together was VERY cool! Still hated like all the characters and couldn’t fully get past the toxicity, but also was looking forward to picking it up again.

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.
