Reviews with content warning for Toxic relationship - Magnolia Parks: The Long Way Home

I am not ok😭😫 whyyyy Hastings why have you done this to us! Not only did you write a series of completely irritating characters that don’t know their ass from their ear lobe but you also made them “likeable”!!! I can’t take it!!! There was hope and then the ending!!

I will so much happens in this installment. We get to see a lot more history between Magnolia and BJ. I just love BJ so much, in my opinion he deserves better than MP because she’s a complete manipulative bitch him, idc! But I guess the heart wants what the heart wants🙄

Loved seeing more of Bridgette, she just calls the shit out as she sees it, I was like finally someone is telling MP to freaking get over herself! So many feels in this one, I finally caved and bought the series because this is truly a series I can re-read and get lost in again and the quotes are top tier😭

Again just rip my heart out and stomp all over it! I’m not ready for DH2 just yet.

⚠️: miscarriage, death of sibling, gaslighting, manipulation

I absolutely loved this book so much. My favorite of the series so far & I simply cannot wait to read book 5 when it comes out next month! Any qualms I had with the first book were resolved here & I simply cannot get over BJ’s growth and dedication to Magnolia. I was absolutely LIVING for their moments together and sweet thoughts about one another. I’ve never smiled so big like a dork reading any other book as I did while reading this. I felt so many emotions sooo deeply while reading this, giving huge credit to Jessa Hastings for writing so well and to the narrators for speaking the story into existence so well. The growth, the love, the drama, the pain, I’m sooooo here for all of it. Obsessed

This one did really drag on.

I definitely prefer Daisy's books and those POVs, so it does suck a bit that they go over the same timelines, because there are some sneaky spoilers in this book to what ends up happening. I really wonder if you switched the reading order to daisy before magnolia what would be lost or gained, as obviously the books were written and/or published in a certain order, but just interesting. Daisy and Magnolia obviously are NOT besties and so for them to exist in the same series "equally" with their loosely intertwined stories is very interesting. Excited to hop back into Daisy's POV soon :)
