I fucking lost my review of this book but you best believe that when I finish my reread and annotations I will write a lengthy one. I will even reminisce about the first time this book devoured me. "

I tried to start this book a few months ago and it was too much f OMFG, WHAT THE FUCK. What business did this book have making me love it as much as I did? Like why Jessa? Omg, Jessa Hastings is a fucking poet. Her writing style is just so beautiful. I tried to start this book a few months ago and it was too much for me back then. Too poetic and just not what I needed at the moment. I found it confusing, and even though I just read the first chapter, I did not like it back then. Now... Fucking now I am obsessed with this book. JESSA!!!! She is the queen of making characters. I love the box set, bridge included, but fuck Paili and I hate Beej for what he did.

Okay, now. I love, love, love London it girl Magnolia Parks. SHE IS JUST EVERYTHING. Like: 'How many loves do you get in a lifetime.' Screaming, crying, throwing up. She is just perfect. Everyone loves her, me included. She went through a lot in the whole book. I really had a lot of sympathy for her, but that faded a little when she started to keep Tom on a leash. He did not deserve that, but Tom knew she LOVED Beej, but still. Also: 'If Bj is water to me, Tom is wine. I don't need his to survive, but I love him anyway.' Bro see. Tom deserves better. I guess he was just too wrapped around Magnolia's finger as everyone is. She was just too wrapped around Beej to see Tom as he deserves.

Beej is just... He will always hurt Parks. he will always hurt her even if he doesn't want to. But even though they will always want each other and love each other. They are just inevitable, but so is the pain that they will cause each other. The moment I realized that fully was when Magnolia and Beej were semi-together and there was a Box-set dinner. During that dinner, a song played, and Christian and Magnolia shared a moment then. Even though during the time Chris and Parks were together it had been some time since she and Beej broke up he was still so fucking jealous. I get that Chris is one of his best friends, but he did not have to beat him up when he first found out about them while he was fucking around London.

I had so much sympathy for Chris, because like he said Henry and Jonah would lie to him for Beej. He had to carry the burden of loving Magnolia alone because Henry will always love Parks more than Chris. Jonah trauma bonded with Bj since they found Jo's sister. I get that he came to hate Parks because that is what love can do. It can make you hate a person for making you feel that way. But the way he went about loving and hating her was wrong. He made her cry.

I love Jonah, what I don't love about him is that he puts Beej above Christian, his brother. Well, Henry puts Magnolia above Bj, but Beej doesn't deserve Henry. Not after everything.
I am excited though for the Henry-Taura-Jonah triangle and who will be chosen.

THE ENDING... THE FUCKING ENDING. ABNORMAL. I hate the fact that Beej doesn't have a reason as to why he cheated. I hate that. I hate that he, despite promising Magnolia otherwise, still started drugs again after he already had an od. Just why FUCKING PAILI. LITERALLY WHY FUCK PAILI. Just when Magnolia ended things with Tom, for good it seemed, and she and Bj were together, for good it seemed, Paili decides to wear that fucking perfume. Not five minutes ago Magnolia decided that she made peace with ignorance/not knowing who Beej cheated with and then this. I am so dramatic. I got this part spoiled for me by a fucking prezi. I justw antwd to get some character info.

I loved the book, and Beej infuriated me at times. Especially when he started doing drugs again. So, it's not 5 stars. Also, because it didn't give me that feeling, you know. But once I do a reread, I will probably promote this book to a 5 star because I did love it, and it had great significance in the series.

I am sorry, rating this book 4.74⭐ was a mistake. I am thinking about it still after almost a year after reading it.
5/5 ⭐ ...more "

“The universe, actually, is ablaze. The planets lose track of their orbits, the birds are poets now and all the songs written before this and all the ones that’ll come after this are about this moment; about how when we’re standing my ear rests right where his heart is, how one hand of his swallows a whole half of my waist. The beautiful nothingness of this, the most intimate moment of my life to date, a life that, actually, has been dotted with much intimacy and I think nothing will ever beat him resting his chin on top of my head.”
― Jessa Hastings, Daisy Haites
