summary: this book takes us back through the plot of the first magnolia parks book just in the perspectives of daisy, christian and julian. not a lot repeats, but it’s interesting to get three new perspectives on magnolia and BJ aND understand christian’s pov on magnolia and how that changes throughout this book. it follows daisy and julian who are gang leaders (julian more than daisy, daisy being his little sister who him and all the gang bros protect) and the fwb/fb relationship that daisy and christian start the book with. christian is using daisy to get over / forget about magnolia. daisy knows she is in too deep with christian. julian deals with gang drama

it was hard to get through but the last 5 chapters had me in a tailspin. jessica hastings knows how to reel you in!! daisy and christian loving each other but not being able to choose each other in the end— specifically christian not being willing to leave the gang life for daisy, despite all of her trauma and her reasonings— was really sad. julian and daisy not speaking to each other. daisy and rome not speaking to each other. it makes me glad that there’s romance books with unhappy endings despite it being sad, it’s more realistic and less predictable. interested to keep going into this series!!!!
