This is the second Daisy Haites in the series. One thing that makes this series so interesting is the perspective. The Magnolia books (1, 3, and 5) in the series are from a couple of characters‘ POV, and the Daisy books (2, 4) are from two other characters‘ POV. The timing overlaps so the reader is getting 4 different perspectives of the same events within two books (1 and 2, 3 and 4). Sad that I only have one book in the series left to read…
This one was my least favorite of the three, but that‘s like your third favorite ice cream flavor. It‘s still really good and well-written and entertaining, but there were some real extra-dramatic things from the past brought up and one fight due to Magnolia being a complete nimwit that I didn‘t love. Other than that, this was another win for me, but I‘m really looking forward to getting back to Daisy Haites and seeing what she‘s been up to.
These UK covers might just be my favorite covers of all-time 🤩

Wow, getting this book was a hassle thanks to USPS. I ordered the last four books in the series. Two arrived in no time, but it would be the second in the series held up for 21 days after shipping, am I right?Blackwell‘s did their part to help; they‘re great! I went so far as to buy the other covers in a FB group… Anywho, this Daisy book is much more plot/action driven than Magnolia, and some of the plot is flat out outlandish, but I LOVED it!
“It‘s a hard thing about relationships, isn‘t it? Doesn‘t matter what type it is, if it‘s worth keeping, sometimes you have to say shit you don‘t want to, pry it out of your own mouth and toss it over a fence your mate‘s building now because that‘s what people do when you hurt them—build fences, raise walls, dig ditches, pitfalls, etc. If you‘re the one making the first move towards reconciliation, you sort of have to… (continued in comments)
This is a case of not for me. The writing is fine, and I see the appeal and why it is so popular. However, the brand name dropping and DRAMA is just not what I‘m in the mood for. I may give it a try at a different point, but for now #hailthebail.
Each and every book in this series just takes you on an emotional roller coaster and I absolutely love it.
This book takes place during the same span of time as Magnolia Parks: The Long Way Home, so some plot points are already known. This book really delves deep into Julian‘s side of things and all of his complicated feelings towards Magnolia.

Happy Saturday ❤️ I'm revisiting a childhood favourite - Midnight Blue by Pauline Fisk at the mo. I can almost smell my old bedroom when I'm reading it 💖
