Daisy Haites: The Great Undoing (The Magnolia Parks Universe) Paperback – November 7, 2023

I’m not sure I ever want this series to end, at least not the Daisy portions. Ironically enough, I’ve decided to take a break so that I can continue to savor the beauty within this story. Also, I’m just not in the mood to dive back into a world predominantly inhabited by Magnolia and BJ.I knew I was intrigued by Julian after his brief introduction in Magnolia Parks, yet who knew he would become such a dominating force not only in the streets of London but also in the hearts of the readers? He is an incredibly complex character who I am rooting for through and through. I previously stated in another review that I think he’s too good for Magnolia; however, I will once again reiterate that Magnolia is a lot more interesting whenever she’s around him. It’s so crazy that all three parties involved (Magnolia, BJ, and Julian) need a tremendous amount of therapy before they should ever consider being involved romantically. However, BJ’s behavior was still atrocious even after seeing one, so who knows?The inner thoughts of Julian during this entire book are beautifully heartbreaking. The whole "have you ever been in love" discussion with Magnolia did me in.Regardless of what will or will not happen regarding Julian, the frustrating proverbial fact remains: Julian and Magnolia will never have a chance due to either his profession or her unwavering obsession (not sure I would call it love) with BJ.Random insert - I was listening to an interview with the author, who was stating something in support of BJ (he’s definitely one of her favorites, if not her favorite), and she suggested that he’s one of the characters that improves the most in the books. Listening to this, I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone. I would wholeheartedly disagree with this, especially when you have Christian leveling up his maturity game in The Great Undoing. I mean, the man made MAJOR strides. He and BJ are not in the same league. Among other things, Christian actually decided to break it off with a girl who technically wasn’t even his girlfriend just because he knew it was wrong to be involved with her while he was in love with someone else. Meanwhile, a proud BJ decided for more than half of The Long(est) Way Home to remain with his girlfriend until Magnolia left Julian first. Dude. I just cannot.All in all another easy 5 stars here. Continue to love Daisy, Christian and my baby, Julian.

Daisy Haites: The Great Undoing by Jessa Hastings is a good book. This is so far my favorite book in The Magnolia Parks Universe series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.7️⃣5️⃣Hook me up to an IV and feed me this type of writing non-stop. I'll die a happy woman. That being said, this was not my favorite of the series. Some of the sparkle from the previous books was missing in this one. I don't quite know what it was exactly, but I found my attention waning at a few points. It took me about 3 days to read, whereas the others only took 1-2 days. The reading experience wasn't as exciting - I think. In no way does that diminish the overall quality of this continuing story, though. This book is still beyond excellent. I'm only comparing it to the others in this series.Julian. For the love of God, give that man a happy ending with someone he 1000% deserves... and someone that will love him back beyond ALL reason. I feel so horrible for him. I struggled reading through the bits where he was in his head torn up about loving Magnolia. Broke my darn heart. I need him to be okay and HAPPY. End of!Christian. He's still my favorite character, and that's that. Sure, he's had his hiccups here and there. Of the bunch, he's the most sensible and endearing. He better get his happy ending as well! I'm nervous for him because there's still 2 Daisy books left to get through. That's a lot of road left he's got to venture down. 🙆‍♀️🙇‍♀️ My nerves! My good lord, have mercy!I'm incredibly grateful for the journey these books have taken me on. When I'm searching for my next read, this type of book is always the goal. Unfortunately, it's rare.

𝘋𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘺 𝘏𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘴: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘜𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 by Jessa Hastings⁣⁣•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁣⁣𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: Daisy’s made a life for herself. A life she wants. Normal…well, as normal as possible. Until things go awry and she’s pulled back home. ⁣⁣⁣•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁣⁣𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: ⁣This book follows essentially the same timeline as 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘢 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘴: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘢𝘺 𝘏𝘰𝘮𝘦, so a lot of the crossover plot points were familiar. However, seeing them from different POVs was sheer perfection. After the cliffy of that book, I wasn’t sure Id be able to really get into this one as much, but I was wrong (thank goodness). The layers I got to see of Daisy, Christian, Julian, and even Magnolia a little were exactly what I needed. This Jessa wrote so many wonderful moments (one of my faves is a convo between Henry and Christian fairly early on in the book). I don’t know how people pick favorite couples in this series because my favorite changes (almost) every other chapter. 😂 As per usual, I felt ill the whole second half of the book and I loved every single second. Per usual, there’s a cliffy on this one, but comparatively, it’s tame. Take that with a grain of salt though. I do not know how I’ll make it until 2024 waiting for the next book, but I’m in this series for the long haul. Thank goodness the audios are coming soon so I can relive this world (yes, I already need to because it’s that good). Please, go and read this series!⁣⁣⁣•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁣⁣#romancereader #teacherswhoread #bookreviews #happilyeverafter #bookrecommendations #bookreview #selfcare #reading #romance #romancebooks #booklover #bookquote #readingforfun
