One thing I know for sure is I love Magnolia Parks as a character. Her every emotion felt so real and despite how insanely rich and perfect she is, she still felt like a character that anyone could connect to based on her experiences. I absolutely loved her. The other element of this book that I felt was worthy of a 5 star rating was the writing. It was poetic and beautiful and made every feeling experienced on page a feeling that was viscerally experienced by the reader at the same time. I feel like I can't even accurately describe it because it just made me feel everything so intensely, even though there are virtually no elements of this plot that I could relate to my reality.
Things I absolutely hated in this book is where the rating falls. Number one and most hated thing about this book is BJ Ballentine. I hate that man and if I read another book in the story and they end up together I will rip my hair out. I love Magnolia and I understand the soul deep bond she feels with BJ, but after the fuck shit he did and literally
So, this is why I have such complicated feelings about this book! The things I loved were things I love so much it hurts my heart and the things I hate are things I hate so much I want to scream and/or rip my hair out. Also, the ending of this book stomped directly on my heart and just to re-iterate, fuck BJ. And if Magnolia ends up with him I will riot. Okay, that was convoluted and rambling review, but I think I'm done. Can't wait to read the next book in this universe!

this book cut me into a million little pieces and ate me up for breakfast lunch and dinner. i genuinely have no idea how i’m going to move on.
the writing is so good, i really feel like i’m in the characters (especially magnolias) head hearing her every thought the way she thinks it.
i hate that things with south with christian, tom, and surely any of her next guys too (which if tiktok spoilers are correct will be julien haites?). she really deserves so so much better than bj😭😭
i cant believe i have to read daisy’s book in the middle before i can get answers for that insane cliffhanger this book ended on omg.
my biggest complaint about the book is how toxic the main couple is (and every relationship tbh)… i knew it was bad but i didn’t realise how just how bad!
4.9/5 only because bj is awful and i hate that i think despite everything he does she’ll end up with him💔

HOWEVER, I couldn't put it down, I kept thinking about it when I wasn't reading, I was obsessed. I have not read a book this long in such a short amount of time. I devoured it.
