I love Ryke and Daisy so so much. Daisy's journey has been the most heartbreaking to me but also the most inspiring because I relate so much. They complement each other so well. Really every couple that Krista and Becca write are perfect for each other. I will never tire of their story.

Klarte ikke helt vibe med at han var 23 og hun var 16, men ellers var plottet valid. Må si jeg skumleste denne boken på grunn av #LowkeyMeToo og var #UltraHang

I love how different all the personalities and relationships are, Daisy and Ryke are no exception.
Not my favorite couple of the bunch (Rose & Connor have my heart) but they are pretty cute.

dang I read this book like a cheetah. that was a weird way to say I read this book rly fast but oh well.

i love Daisy Calloway. one thing that everyone must know. I would start with that. Like the one consuming thought in my head as I read 500 page is Daisy Calloway is amazing.

I waited to write this review until now, even told I finish reading the book like 5 days ago. That’s because I wanted to collect my thoughts.

This book left me fuming. i was just so filled with annoyance at everyone else.

Wait no- let’s go back to talking about what a kind and sweet soul Daisy Calloway is. I need to calm down.

So Daisy Calloway. The best out of the four sister. She’s just so god damn sweet. Like there’s this energy to her that draws you in. This energy that consumes everyone. Everything she does, she so selfless. Like she would literally stay in pain than bother her sister. I love her for that. I really do. But it pain me to see Daisy suffering, because she doesn’t deserve it.

At every turn, Daisy is just so sweet.

Oh okay okay so I like Ryke. Not as much as Daisy. But I really do like how he’s so selfless. LIKE THESE TWO ARE TOO KIND FOR THEIR OWN GOOD. They are always protecting others and scarifying themselves.

That’s why I get so mad when everyone else can’t see jt. Everyone else brush it off.

No
No
Not yet reading to rant about them. Back to Daisy and Ryke.

Like Ryke and Daisy just click. It just make sense. I know there are some Ryke slander. But how could you possibly hate him. Like everything he does, he is so nice. He’s only human, so of course he would make mistake. But he paint himself as a jerk just to save other. I could relate to it. Sometimes when people think of you in the bad light, she can’t help but just be that person. You don’t try to explain yourself. I really do understand that.

Ryke character make sense to me. He feels like a real person. Ryke had so much PATIENCE to deal with Daisy and Lo.

Honestly reading this book, it felt like the world was against Raisy. No body seem to approve of their relationship (except maybe Rose and Connor, which love that). I hate how Lo continues to bash them for it. I hate how Daisy can’t seem to be able to express herself. I hate how Ryke had to break his sober for his brother.

I love Lo. Kind of. Like I do like him. But I think he’s a damn jerk. A horrible jerk. Sometimes he is extremely annoying.

I don’t understand Lo’s action sometimes.

Okay okay, official rant time starts now.

Like Lo wants to protect Daisy. But he has been enable Lily for years, and he was a jerk to everyone. So now, wow look like he is a new change person. Wow now he has this role to protect innocent Daisy. But like, he barely cares about her before.

Isn’t that the same thing as what Ryke is doing?!?!

Ryke is trying to be in Lo’s life. Although he had ignore Lo for years (which he had a very valid reason for), Ryke is not trying to protect his brother. ISN’T THAT WHAT LO IS TRYING TO DO WITH DAISY?!

Like why judge someone if you are basically doing the same thing.

So annoying.

Omg don’t get me started on Connor.

I thought I like Connor. I thought I like smart people. Until they reveal themselves as extremely conceited.

Okay damn, Connor diagnose Daisy sleep trauma. He think he knows what the best option is. Then he enable Lo’s drinking. Like what the fudge?! Connor is not even certified to diagnose someone. Like sure he could voice what he thinks. But then he goes letting Ryke be the jerk, letting Lo drink because he wanted to be the “good best friend.”

LIKE WHAT?!

ughh then lily

Rose in this book is fine. Ig.

But lily. I get it. Lily is the sweet one. But I hate how the ending concluded. Yes, Daisy told her sister about what she went through. And all Lily was able to say was thank you for speaking up. Like…. Okay? But what about the pushing Daisy out of the group? how about making Daisy felt left out?

Okay I think I’m just angry. I know it’s not Lily’s fault.

But the whole damn group made Daisy and Ryke felt completely left out.

They paint them at the troublemakers.

They only have each other.

So what did they expect?

I should stop. This review is turning into an essay.

Overall, LOVE DAISY and Ryke. Starting to kinda hate the other four. :))

I wasn’t sure if I was gonna like this book in the series but I really fell in love with both the characters. I enjoyed reading this and it showed spotlight on some things I needed guidance on in my life.
