SURE. sure we’ll do the same song and dance over and over again. i guess. i know the appeal of magnolia and bj getting their happily ever after comes at the price of so much constant conflict but DAMN! COME ON!!! 😭😭😭

i was SO excited for julian in this one. he is such an interesting character. it’s interesting getting to be inside his head in daisy haites 1, and then only getting magnolia and bj’s perspective of him in mp2 and having to try to figure him out.

i like the answers we get for the gaps in their history. in a way, magnolia and bj’s flashbacks are my favorite parts. the ending felt rushed in a way i wasn’t obsessed with. 

i do want to point out that i guessed that ending almost to a t even though it came out of nowhere and ended on a cliffhanger. ☝️🤓 i have amazing intuition and i will be picking up dh2 to see just how right i was.
