bestie sara if by some small chance you are reading this, i'm very sorry, BUT i hated bj. i really really did not like him. he just really annoyed me and icked me and i don't really know why. magnolia and bj both acted like children but bj more.
anyways, i loved magnolia and the will they/won't they thing the whole book didn't bother me (only bj did).
in summary, i think magnolia could so much better and bj having an adult conversation would have solved so many problems.
Spoiler
he cheated on magnolia, thought it would be, uh, fine??? and then proceeds to get upset every time he sees her with someone else as if he's not sleeping with every single girl. he was high and slept with girls to "annoy" magnolia but HE was at fault.anyways, i loved magnolia and the will they/won't they thing the whole book didn't bother me (only bj did).
Spoiler
OH, also the fact bj's solution to everything was fighting. it's not other people's fault they are in love with the same girl as you. if you can't help it, neither can they. he acted all possessive as if he didn't cause their relationship to end.in summary, i think magnolia could so much better and bj having an adult conversation would have solved so many problems.
