This fantasy guy is pretty much her therapist and can read her like a book. Very satisfying to watch him dismantle her insecurities.  Audiobook features my favorite narrators.

Stern brunch daddy vibes — Linden has them in spades. This didn't really work for me, but not because of the characters sexuality (it's a m/f relationship but they both identify as pansexual). Since some reviewers are deducting a star for the mention of pansexuality and the very brief "I like the person, not the label" discussion, I went ahead and added a star to my rating.

I've really enjoyed getting to know this aspect of Magnolia's life through her brothers. This book is about her brother Linden and his pairing with Jasper.

I love how different all of the characters, especially the women are...I would love to see the life changes Jasper goes through in sneak peeks from chronologically future books.
