Read this book for the closure. Stopped where it SHOULD have ended because ik the author wont give me it. Ignoring some of the frustratingly stupid parts... Great read. Had so much fun. It actually managed to soften my perspective of BJ, tho still not much of a fan of him. Magnolia's adventures was a rollercoaster like always and she has a genuine moment of potential great character development (that of course the author ruined but i shall pretend she didn't) 

This is how I shall remember this book ending:
she has her lil darkening moment WHICH I LOVE AND IS MY FAV PART OF THIS GOD FORSAKEN SERIES. Julian Haites and Magnolia are my fav couple in this series to be fucking real (tho no couple is that healthy in this series tbh BUT THEY ARE THE CLOSEST SO FAR IG. They had chemistry atleast). They ended up together yep and become a mafia/gang power-couple and Magnolia realizes her mental issues before coming to UNDERSTAND THAT HER ATTACHMENT TO BJ WAS LARGELY A COPING THING YEP, AND SHE ENDS UP WITH JULIAN TO BECOME THE LADY OF HIS GANG EMPIRE OR WHATEVER. THEY'RE SUPER HAPPY TOGETHER YEP.

I thought I wrote a review for this when I finished it but APPARENTLY NOT!

Gotta put something down to commemorate reading this because it was really really fabulous. I am obsessed with Julian Haites thank you very much, and, although the relationships in this book are kinda toxic still, you can’t help but eat it up. BJ and Parks make so much more sense when leaning more about their history and it really helps shift your perspective if you were kinda over their back and forth previously.
THE ENDING!!!??? 

Already halfway through the next book which, spoiler, I’m also loving.

Now that I know the characters and their individual developments, this book rocked me. This whole series is like a soap opera mixed with Gossip Girls, and it keeps getting better. 

The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is because I would’ve loved to hear perspectives other than BJ and Magnolia, but I guess that’s not the point. 

December 3rd will never be the same for me.

Alright man. Jessa got me with this one. The first two books in the series were absolutely insufferable but I’m like a moth to a flame with these characters. I think Jessa got this one (mostly) right. 

Now, it dragged on for 100 pages more than it needed to and sometimes it felt like she was just dropping random stuff in there to keep the story going but like…the laughs I had and the tears I cried were enough to let me give this 4 stars with a clear conscience.
