Reviews with content warning for Injury/Injury detail - Daisy Haites

Jessa Hastings writing is so good! These stories draw you in even when you don’t expect to be drawn in. Unlike some of the reviews I read, I actually preferred Daisy’s story over Magnolia’s. I felt like I was rooting for her to get a happy ending and even though it ended on a slight cliffhanger, I think we got a solid ending to this part of the series. There were a few times I got lost with the switching of characters and where we were in the storyline - especially when I jumped to something I remember happening in Magonlia’s story that wasn’t previously mentioned in Daisy’s story. For this reason, I would definitely say it’s important to read the books in order up to this point.

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.

This is like 5+ stars.

I’ve been reading this through a recent breakup so it hit waaay harder. So many quotes I resonated with. So much emotion I was experiencing in my real life. I felt Daisy’s pain. I’m living it.
This book broke me but honestly I’m happy it did. I think I needed it in a way.

I think in every Daisy pov, I shed a tear or just completely bawled my eyes out. And Christian… poor Christian.

Omg Julian. I have to see what happens next. I’m going to take a little break to mend my little heart lol but these characters, I feel in my soul.

I would say I like the Daisy Haites side of it all over Magnolia Parks but I love the whole group still.

The ending tore me to pieces though.

I wanted Daisy and Christian to end up together so badly. But life happens, and it could be right person wrong time. And Daisy deserves normalcy.

I went into this pretty sceptical because Magnolia Parks was a 2 star book for me and I hated their world and the characters.

First of all I hate Jessa Hastings writing sometimes (and it makes me sad because so many people love it 😭) because to me it feels like she’s trying so hard to write poetically and it just cringes me a lot.
Also I did feel like Julian’s POV chapters weren’t really necessary and the book could’ve been way shorter and just as good without them.

I have to say tho that I loved Daisy, I really liked Romeo (I’m shipping them so hard) and I also enjoyed Christian a lot. They didn’t annoy or cringe me all that much compared to Magnolia and BJ and I could empathize Daisy a lot. I’m really looking forward to the other Daisy books and because of the Magnolia chapter at the end I’m also looking forward to her other books! 😮‍💨

I’m sorry but Daisy Haites 🌼 just doesn’t do it for me. I didn’t buy the relationships and what is with all those footnotes?!!!
