I love this series so much.

I’ve put off reading this book for the longest time, simply because I didn’t want to admit it was all coming to an end, but wow, I’m so in awe of these books.

What an emotional rollercoaster, this book really delved deeper into Magnolia and BJ’s love, and it felt so amazing to finally see them communicating with each other. Their journey, the growth, the insatiable love between them really was just perfect. I especially loved seeing how much BJ has grown, and the way that man talks about love, fuck, I want everyone I know to feel a love as great as his.

I’m also not sure I’ll ever recover from losing Bridge, I wish we could’ve seen her live out an incredible life, psychoanalysing Magnolia at every chance she got. But, that’s not how life works, and the way Jessa depicted Magnolias grief was really powerful.

Now, can we talk about the suspense around why they needed to get out of London so quickly… I’m truly dreading the next Daisy book, because I was literally a big anxious mess reading Magnolias and BJs pov around it. 

Whatever is brewing in the Haites world is not going to be good, and I’m just not ready for the heartache.
