FIRST OF ALL…. 

WHAT IS THIS ENDING?!?! IM HEARTBROKEN FOR MAGNOLIA! I HATED BJ ALL ALONG TBH,( #team tom )
yet i didn’t expect a betrayal like this… need a break before starting daisy haites cause this kinda broke me

loved and hated this storyline. 
this book captured me like no other, i thought about it day and night, even when i wasn’t reading it. 
the metaphors, the writing >
the drama? idk maybe a bit much but is there ever enough drama??

I ate this like if I was starving, and they put a 3 course meal in front of me and said GO! This is the most toxic relationship dynamic I've ever read, and I couldn't get enough of it! Probably says a lot about me, but I know I have issues, lol. I loved the duo POV because it was needed and the writing was so good. Just look up the trigger warnings on this book before you go into it because mannn! You either love this book or you don't. This was purely entertainment for me and so much fun to read. It's messy, full of drama, really rich rich people problems and I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

dangerously toxic book, but i also enjoyed it. 

super conflicted on my thoughts

-i found some scenes repetitive
-found side characters to have no personality and i still don't remember who was who... 
-so so so so so so so toxic
-wasnt really seeing the hype until the end of the book
-now i 100% want to read more
-but so toxic that i dont want to read more!
