Still processing that ending, I am in shock.
The Long Way Home was a stronger story then book 1. I do find myself getting a little annoyed by the writing style and choice of phrases “he let out a breath I didn’t realise he was holding” girl, be for real. There’s also a lot of repetition about the boys running their hands through their hair, licking their bottom lip, pushing their tongue into their side of their mouth that it had me rolling their eyes.
I think Magnolias “thing” of needing to list of the clothing brand and style is meant to make her quirky but it comes across as shallow and vain. I think, similar to the phrases above, it’s just over done.
I loved the development of Taura, she’s the MVP along with Bridget if you ask me.
Despite the flaws there is something about this series that I cannot get enough of.

On the negative side, I do think that BJ continued to do things to Magnolia that were objectively toxic. That made it really hard for me to feel happy about the overall arc of this book. Especially with the fact that I freaking love Julian.
The ending was devastating (as is required with the end of all Magnolia Parks Universe books) and as per usual, I can't wait to read the next one!
