okayyyyyy. okay. okay!

i am gonna be so honest in saying that i never thought i would finish this book when i first gave it a shot. the writing was jarring and i had no idea who all those people were. and then when i gave in and realized this isn’t a cute romance, it’s reality tv in book form, i was in.

i’m not rooting for magnolia and bj. i am a little, because the book wants me to, and i’m rooting for magnolia and i think she’ll never be happy with anyone else, but DAAANG. they really can’t be happy for more than like 12 hours together huh.

the ending of this shook me to my core. i love a big dramatic reveal when i realize things the same time as the characters do. i will be tuning in for the other 3 and i hope there’s just as much drama in those.

i think this series is good for fans of the addicted series if you’re reading that for the drama too …. :)
