I really wish I wasn’t in a slump when reading this. This book didn’t put me in it, I was lowkey in one and didn’t realize until it took me weeks to even pick the book up again. 
If I had read this out of a slump, I feel like I would’ve been able to get through it waaaay faster. And since it took me forever to get through it, it’s kind of messing with how I want to rate the book. I enjoyed the book but it felt so long only because I was in a slump.
I definitely was invested in the characters, more than I usually am with other books. I was feeling the emotions with magnolia and the ending definitely made me cry 🤦🏽‍♀️
But even with all of that said, I don’t know what star rating to give it. I’ve never had a five star read, so I’m assuming if it was a five star read I would have that feeling so I think I’m going to go with a 4 for now, I might sit on it for a couple days. 
But loved it so much 🩶
🌶️🌶️.5/5
