i am just not immune to a series about a group of friends or sisters where we get to see each character from a different perspective and fall in love and have their hearts broken and go on their own journey of self-discovery

daisy haites: the great undoing chapter 13 🌼

Calling it right now, Romeo and Julian are going to die eventually. I don't know when, but before this series is over it will happen. With Daisy calling her life very Greek tragedy and the names literally being Romeo and Julian (Juliet). It's going to happen. Preparing myself now. (I'm only in part 1 on LWH)

I knew life through the prism of loss, secretly at first, but now it’s coloured my world.

i truly will Not Rest until everyone feels the pain of reading Magnolia Parks, like i will drag you all to hell with me !

One thing that absolutely pisses me off about the magnolia parks books is the double standards in characters.

I mean, when multiple men are in love with magnolia everyone just shames her for it?? and treats her like absolute shit??

But when everyone is in love with daisy it’s just a funny inside joke????

i've just spent an hour on google maps finding out where the haites live and based on directions given in the first daisy haites book i've deduced that they own the entirety of egerton terrace

i know absolutely nobody cares about this except me but i want to share my findings anyway lol. i feel a bit like a stalker but i do also really want to go to london and explore everywhere mentioned in these books but i've got no one to go with lol

pretty sure this is the part they own because its mentioned that their dad bought an entire cul-de-sac

where it is in london

rating: ★★

spoilers under the cut

I have came to conclusion that I don't think I like mess/messiness in the form of a book, only in the tv shows I watch. It took me so long to get to through this book because of me being a quite slow reader and also work just been treating me like a punching bag, and Magnolia and BJ treated me like another punching back every time I opened the book.

The book caught my interest because someone on TikTok mentioned that it gives off Gossip Girl set in London vibes. If you know me, Gossip Girl is one of my favorite shows (I am one out of maybe 4 people who enjoyed the reboot too lol). If definitely check all the boxes of young adults that was practically born with a silver spoon in their mouths and just basking in the glory of luxury, I adored that vibe. However, the roller coaster of Magnolia and BJ nearly made me internally scream.

One moment they're sharing a bed with each other. The next they're slobbing on someone else to make the other jealous. I felt like as a reader, I was their couple's therapist and neither one of them isn't trying to let me get a word out.

I just felt like the book didn't really have any actual plot other than Magnolia and BJ's toxicity when in reality neither one of them should be dating each other if I'm going to be honest with myself. I would have loved a balance of Lodon elite drama, Magnolia/BJ's relationship drama, and character development for both of them...but it just fell flat for this book.

I am still on the fence on reading the other books apart of the Magnolia Parks universe though.

If you are a sucker for messy storylines and couples, this book is for you. However, it was not my cup of tea.
