I have gone back and forth on what to rate this. This took me awhile to get through. The beginning is so emotionally heavy and I ended up putting it down for awhile because it just made me sad

Mixed feelings. My least favourite book of the series however some incredibly moving parts that broke my heart and made me cry. I feel I can’t give it a 4 because I loved the other books more.

this book was a very very perfect way to end this series i fear. what an emotional roller coaster though! i was so heartbroken for magnolia the entire book. maybe i just wasn’t paying attention but i did not realize the extent of magnolia’s eating problems & overall mental health problems until this book. i was a bit shocked and it made me even more sad for her bc that’s a lot! but i’m so happy she started going to therapy w BJ. speaking of BJ, can we talk about character development? like BJ the man that you are.. and i never thought i’d say that

You really go through every emotion with Magnolia and BJ. I really loved BJ in this book, the way he loves and takes care of Magnolia was so beautiful to read. Magnolia dealing with her grief around Bridget was heartbreaking but made me appreciate her character so much more. I loved Taura and Tiller. I wish we had gotten more of an ending for Henry and I know Jonah and Christian will have more in the next book. I love Julian and I am ready for more of his story. I just don't know how I see his story resolving.
Jessa's writing is beautiful. The vows made me cry, the most beautiful wedding in a book I've ever read by far.
