I loved the footnotes at the bottom of Daisy’s chapters. 

This book felt slightly less toxic, but more sad than Magnolia Parks was. I can’t stop reading now because there are too many storylines that I need to see have a satisfying conclusion.

I wish I knew before reading this that it overlaps with Magnolia Parks because I think tandem reading would make this even better.

One of the things I didn’t like is that the text messages felt like they were in the wrong places at times. It wasn’t always clear who they were from or to and it looks as if some were placed wrongly since they seemingly didn’t involve the character who's POV they were in.

I love this universe so much! 

I am honestly trying to figure out why these are considered contemporary romance novels. I honestly think these are just adult fictions with heavy coming of age themes. I felt that a little with the first book and I feel it even more now. Especially since none of the relationships are anything to really aspire to. I think her brother Julian is more drama than BJ. 

I had to read about halfway before I got comfortable with Daisy. I found myself still looking for Magnolia in the beginning, because I truly think she is my favorite. However where Magnolia had me in my fluttery feels, Daisy keeps you extremely grounded. Which is isn’t a bad thing! 

I am giving this 4.5 stars, there were just a few things (like the footnotes in Daisy perspective) that kept me from completely lingering in Daisy’ viewpoint, like I did in Magnolia.
