I feel so very conflicted on this book, and yet I'm so eager to get Daisy Haites. What have I gotten myself into. 

The Magnolia Parks universe is essentially just Gossip Girl but in the UK. And there's not really a very structured plot, it just follows these rich people's lives and the very complicated relationship between Magnolia and BJ.

First off, MxB was so toxic. I found this much more of an issue in the first 200 pages, and I reckon I just got used to their toxic relationship somewhere after that and didn't find it as irritating, although still as toxic. I'm not gonna lie, I really don't want Magnolia and BJ to be endgame. I personally would prefer if one of the other male characters that fancy Magnolia were to maybe end up with her

Obviously I was rooting for Tom but that isn't going to happen anymore is it

. But I think it's pretty clear MxB will be endgame, and at this current moment I feel very iffy about it. There's no signs of potential character development that sticks for more than 2 chapters. I'm overall very curious as to how Jessa Hastings will bring Magnolia and BJ into a relationship that is toxic-free (or maybe she won't and they'll forever have a toxic relationship, I highly doubt that though aha).

Also relating to the main couple of this book, it got so damn repetitive. Like it rarely felt like I was reading a unique plot that didn't just repeat itself over and over. But at the same time I was addicted? Once I got more comfortable with the world and characters, I couldn't take my eyes of the page. Jessa Hasting's writing was definitely the reason why I felt this way. Her is just so good and I can't explain it better than that. Although I did really dislike how she just threw real-world celebrities into the story and made the fictional characters relate to them in some way (for example: Magnolia's godfather is Elton John? Just no-). But that's really my only complaint with her writing. I loved the inclusion of Magnolia's high intelligence on fashion and the outfit droppings we got. I found myself searching up a lot of the pieces the characters were wearing and imagining them wear them, it was so fun.

I would really like to put my rating higher for this book but I can't overlook Magnolia and BJ's relationship which is the focus of the story. I'm crossing my fingers that whatever they have going on becomes healthier, even if they are 'meant to be together' as we got informed by many supporting characters. The ending got my jaw dropping and I'm so intrigued as to what will happen next in this world and to the cast of characters. 

Also the OG covers are absolutely gorgeous and I adore the easter eggs in it!! 🐝 
(I still like the new covers though, they just don't hit the same)
