1.0

The mental health crisis of the 21st century is clearly diplayed in the amount of people that like this book and root for the main characters.

I am so happy they broke up in the end. In my mind, they will stay that way because I have no plan nor the desire to read the other two books. 

The writting is beautiful. The timeline and flow of the story is messed up tho. One chapter they were resolute on never getting back together, then the next chapter they are made up again, swearing to the stars this is it. I had this feeling that I missed like 4 chapters, which made me think that what was happening was not happening at all. Absolutely hated that. 

Absolutely hate BJ Ballentine, biggest asshole I've ever read about. Parks was kinda nice in the beginning, annoyed me to pieces by the end. They both need therapy. The white walls, straight-jacket kind.

That star I put in the review is for Tom England and BJ's mom only. They were the only thing that kept me pushing through.

 emotional rollercoaster delixe but easily one of my favourite books!! 
I fully anticipated the plot twist
in the last couple pages with BJ and Paili, when he first talked about the cheating and it not being Taura Saxe

FIRST OF ALL…. 
WHAT IS THIS ENDING?!?! IM HEARTBROKEN FOR MAGNOLIA! I HATED BJ ALL ALONG TBH,( #team tom )
yet i didn’t expect a betrayal like this… need a break before starting daisy haites cause this kinda broke me


loved and hated this storyline. 
this book captured me like no other, i thought about it day and night, even when i wasn’t reading it. 
the metaphors, the writing >
the drama? idk maybe a bit much but is there ever enough drama??
