EXCUSE ME?! THE ENDING?! WHAT THE FUCK.

I genuinely do not even know what to say or think right now. This book made me angry, annoyed, stressed out, excited, hopeful, happy, laugh, almost cry, and then just completely shocked and physically ill at the end. Clearly a 5 star rating considering all of the emotions brought forward and how fast I read through it due to simply not wanting to put it down but I’m unsure what else to say. This series has me in a chokehold at this point.

Wow wow wow. I am so glad that I am finally back to reading this series. I’ve missed these characters and this world. And what a journey we all just went on.

First, I have to say that putting BJ in therapy and then having him actually give a shit about him and Magnolia repair their relationship by being friends first was the absolute best way to get me back on board with them. And now I’m dying to get to book 5 to see their happy ending once and for all. Additionally, I also loved that we got more of the backstory behind when and where Magnolia and BJ lost track of each other and when/where they fully intertwined their lives. And why they felt they were “written in the stars.” Despite the darkness of their story, it was still so beautiful to get some clarity around their relationship.

I also absolutely *adored* the Daisy/Christian snippets that we got in this book. I absolutely devoured their first book so can’t wait to read book 4 and get their perspective on all the events that transpired.

This book was such a treat to read. All 530 pages. Even when I was frustrated, it was because I deeply cared about the characters and wanted better for them. And then they FINALLY got it for themselves. I was so proud of Magnolia and BJ for finally getting their shit together.

BUT THAT ENDING?! ARE WE FUCKING KIDDING?! I’m confused and angry and concerned. I need to know what’s up immediately. IMMEDIATELY. 🥹🥲💀🤬👏🏼🤯

Well, I can’t believe I didn’t find Bj and Magnolia completely annoying. They still were, but they matured a lot compared to their first book.

This book was still really tiring with all the will they won’t they. 600 pages of them saying they loved each other but then doing everything by being together. And the ending. Do not talk to me.

Spoiler ahead.

What the fuck do you mean Bridget is dead. She is literally the only person I fully loved (apart from Taura) and now she is gone. And the fact that she died thinking Magnolia wasn’t going to make her maid of honor. Stop it right now.

I also think it’s pretty obvious that the whole car crash were Julian’s rivals or whatever. And I’m really curious to learn what happened with Daisy and Christian at the end.

But seriously, how in the world am I meant to read a magnolia parks book without Bridget in it.

First the baby and the tree absolutely sent me, then the fact that Julian was actually falling in love with her but knew she’d never not love BJ, then the car accident (which I KNOW was not an accident and it was definitely a hit to hurt magnolia), then HER SISTER are you kidding me, I’m wrecked Bridget was one of my favorites and I think she might have got poisoned and the worst part about it is I guarantee it was supposed to be magnolia that died and not Bridget.
