My fav toxic duo back at it again <3

But being serious, BJ and Magnolia grew quite a bit through this book. Don’t get me wrong they still have so much to work through, but seeing them evolve is beautiful. I can’t wait to continue their story.

Please check trigger warnings before picking up this book.

I’m glad I didn’t give up on this series. The first book was okay, I enjoyed it but wasn’t overly impressed. The second book, Daisy Haites, was not for me. Didn’t like the writing style and found it difficult to connect with the characters. This book however exceeded all of my expectations. I loved seeing glimpses from the early days of Magnolia and BJ relationship, their past, all of it. It was an emotional rollercoaster and the ending.. gosh. In a way this book made me want to re-read the first book. 5⭐️

really loved the first part of this book, and the ending absolutely stunned me, but i do think that it got a tiny bit repetitive during the second part.  so in love with this universe, and can’t wait to figure out what’s going on (also adored the daisy and christian snippets throughout it)!!
