Thought this might be a bit more gossipy and fun, but the relationships were a little too toxic for me from the outset. Didn't really like any of the characters enough to continue reading.

This book was so toxic and unhealthy and I completely ate it up! Major Gossip Girl meets London vibes. 
The drama was so addictive and I loved the cliffhanger at the end - definitely going to read the rest of the series.

I’m really glad that I waited until the last book came out to finally read it because I fell in love. I now understand the hype around it. I couldn’t put the book down and when I did put the book down, I finish my task. I went right back to the book, which I finished in almost a full work schedule.

I love a messy situation and this was like the mess that I needed. I can see the love. I can see the heart and the unknown I’m bout to read the next Magnolia Parks and I’m here for even more drama because I do think that they deserve to be together.

 I just don’t know how we’re gonna get past and actually talk and have a grown-up discussion about what was revealed in the end of the first book.
