Daisy Haites: The Great Undoing

Daisy Haites: The Great Undoing by Jessa Hastings
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

‘It’s the great undoing of my heart as I know it."

Yes, Jessa this whole book really was the great undoing. Jessa’s writing is beautiful I can’t even describe what it does to my heart, because reading this series has me completely unwell. It should be a crime to write books this amazing.

Let’s start with Daisy, my queen, she is amazing, and the story starts off with her living that normal life she wanted but then things start to progress…. Someone is after her and she has no choice but to go back to the one person she wanted to get away from (not really) but she is then sucked back into the life of basically being a mafia princess. Everything starts to unravel for her while others seem to fall into place, after everything we have seen from the very first MPU book we see so much progress with Daisy and Magnolia and it warms my heart but also with Christian and my heart is whole again.

Christian!!! I’m a Christian and Julian girlie! I guess that makes me like gang lords… oh well. Chistian proved himself repeatedly and he is just all in on our girl Daisy and I’m so happy that he recognizes that now, some parts dragged between them, they swear they didn’t know they loved each other anymore… but come on now?! That kind of love doesn’t just die and the fact that Christian asked Magnolia for help with Daisy?!! Wow big growth moment, I think that was one of my favorite interaction scenes between these two girls, making amends and knowing each has experienced pain in the same way but knowing that they are just two girls head over heels in love. He was perfect, the way he just drops everything for her. The cop bar was probably my favorite scene, something about a man completely in sync with you knowing he will protect you at all costs?! Yup.

The amount of pain I felt?! For all these characters but ESPECIALLY JULIAN! I can’t even describe it. I love that we get to see his more vulnerable and emotional side because he is pure masculinity in a man, and I absolutely adore him, and he deserves the damn world. I will be honest I do think this book is more about Julian, which I’m fine with! Because in the end it will all tie together but wow my poor heart, this was so much more than it could take. Julian deserves to be loved and seeing him just have a glimpse of what a normal life could have been for him with Magnolia was a tease… I secretly wished they were endgame but, in the end, I know no one will ever compare to BJ for her and rightfully so.

We have some answers to questions we had from the long way home even though I figured as much, the last 100 pages of this book utterly destroyed me from Julian letting Magnolia go, her getting into a car accident and them taking Daisy away from Christian… (crying) that scene was explained in such detail I could feel Christian trying to get to Daisy in every way and my god the way he was with Jonah right after??! That was the most heartbreaking, because the love Christian has for Daisy is unreal, one in a million.

I cannot believe we have to wait…. I will be in a corner until then. All I know is Julian, Daisy or Christian better not die and Daisy and Christian have to be endgame if not... I will file a complaint and sue.

Thanks for coming to my tedtalk
