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.

Wow this was SUCH a good book I’m tempted to give it 5 stars! Christian and Daisy absolutely stole my heart. I loved seeing their relationship/Christian’s side of everything. I think this book was perfectly toxic without being outright abusive and it was amazingggg! Major Gossip Girl vibes except instead of school it’s a gang lol. I don’t think I’d change anything about this book and I’m excited to read their next one! I’ll have to suffer through Parks and BJ first but I’ll do it for Daisy <3 The only thing that is keeping this from a 5 star is certain times Christian was so clueless it was painful (but that’s men I guess lmaoooo)

Daisy Haites is the second book in the Magnolia Parks Universe. It follows Daisy Haites a second year medical student and her love interest Christian Hemmes who you would have met in the first book. It also follows Daisy’s brother Julian Haites who is a crime boss. 

Daisy is a badass who is easy to root for. She’s trying to balance her normal life of being a university medical student, with being the sister of one of the most powerful gang lords in England. Not to mention her off again, on again relationship with her childhood sweetheart, Romeo. Christian is struggling with his lingering feelings for Magnolia, and his new burgeoning feelings for Daisy. Even though he’s a gang lord as well doesn’t mean that he and Daisy are without conflict. Julian tries to do right by his sister, but will his crime lifestyle finally come between them? 

This is another emotional read from this series and I can’t wait to read the next one.

Will I ever recommend this series to someone I care about? Absolutely not. Will I continue to read every book in this series? Absolutely, yes.

If someone described the plot of these books to me, I would consider their taste questionable, but I CANNOT STOP. I won’t be stopped. These books are exactly the fly-on-the-wall drama that I live for. 

Also, whoever said they’re a Christian Hemmes apologist for life? Solidarity, sister.
