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. 🥹🥲💀🤬👏🏼🤯

I'm going to be completely fair here though, I feel like BJ in particular really goes through a lot of developement in this book. I like that he's in therapy, and actively working to be a better human. He's still a piece of shit, but at least he's learned to take accountability for his actions. BJ's progression also makes it able for the relationship to start to feel less exhausting. It just feels nice to see someone recognize the issues in their relationship, and try to make them better or even fix them completely. It was an extreme contrast to Magnolia, who did not change at all throughout the book. In fact, she might have even gotten worse. The constant ass kissing by side characters, and their inability to see any flaws in Magnolia are still incredibly exhausting. That's maybe why I love Daisy so much because as little as she appears in this book she does not put up with Magnolia's bullshit, and I ADORE it.
Anyway, besides all those issues I did still enjoy this book fine enough. There's just something about this trainwreck that I absolutely cannot look away from. It is so incredibly drama filled, and entertaining. I also like that in this book we get to see more of the friend group, and their drama as well. It just felt refreshing dealing with other people's shit than Magnolia and BJ even if it's done through their perspective. The ending was incredibly wild though. Maybe a bit too much, but also at the same time it had my heart racing, and I can't wait to continue with this series.
