I did like this book more than Magnolia Parks, but I didn't love it hence why I gave it 3.5 stars. The footnotes at the bottom of the pages stressed me out so much, and I am not a fan of the drama trope being used constantly. I did like this because of the mafia aspect, but I didn't love the overall plot and storyline. I do wanna continue the series but it is really overrated and boring.

Quotes:
- “Daisy’s that feeling you get when you’re floating on your back in a pool and there’s so much fucking noise around you until you put your ears under and it all goes quiet. That’s how she feels to me.”
- “The feel of him is my favourite feeling in the world, for all of history and all of time, write it down, ring the town bell and tell the scribes—I’ll wear it on my heart’s sleeve forever that I love him.”
- “I can't even look at him because I'm a flower and he's the whole entire sun and he'll wilt me away, I know he will”
- “Memories are funny, don’t you think? Creep up on you, break through the ground of your mind like a weed, even when they don’t have permission to be there.”
- “No guns at the dinner table. That's my one rule”
- “I don't want to let her go - I didn't even want to love her in the first place, but here we are and I do, and I wouldn't take it back now. Couldn't. Even if I could, I couldn't, because I'll love her till I die. Whether I have her or not, whether she wants me back or not, I'm in, even if she's out”
