EXCUSE ME?! THE ENDING?! WHAT THE FUCK. 

I genuinely do not even know what to say or think right now. This book made me angry, annoyed, stressed out, excited, hopeful, happy, laugh, almost cry, and then just completely shocked and physically ill at the end. Clearly a 5 star rating considering all of the emotions brought forward and how fast I read through it due to simply not wanting to put it down but I’m unsure what else to say. This series has me in a chokehold at this point.

Wow wow wow. I am so glad that I am finally back to reading this series. I’ve missed these characters and this world. And what a journey we all just went on.

First, I have to say that putting BJ in therapy and then having him actually give a shit about him and Magnolia repair their relationship by being friends first was the absolute best way to get me back on board with them. And now I’m dying to get to book 5 to see their happy ending once and for all. Additionally, I also loved that we got more of the backstory behind when and where Magnolia and BJ lost track of each other and when/where they fully intertwined their lives. And why they felt they were “written in the stars.” Despite the darkness of their story, it was still so beautiful to get some clarity around their relationship.

I also absolutely *adored* the Daisy/Christian snippets that we got in this book. I absolutely devoured their first book so can’t wait to read book 4 and get their perspective on all the events that transpired.

This book was such a treat to read. All 530 pages. Even when I was frustrated, it was because I deeply cared about the characters and wanted better for them. And then they FINALLY got it for themselves. I was so proud of Magnolia and BJ for finally getting their shit together.

BUT THAT ENDING?! ARE WE FUCKING KIDDING?! I’m confused and angry and concerned. I need to know what’s up immediately. IMMEDIATELY. 🥹🥲💀🤬👏🏼🤯

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⭐️
