this was a wonderful ending to this love story. i love the consistent theme of how many loves do you get in a lifetime and how that is answered (?) in this book. the character development in this book over all the others is exquisite and i love that they take the journey together as they do everything.
i did miss Bridget but I'm glad she made so many appearances. the ending with the wedding and mags getting pregnant was actually perfect and one of the rare times i enjoyed a pregnancy trope.
the growth, grief, and love in this book was so well displayed i can see how people are saying this is 200-300 too long but simply i disagree and loved every minute of it. literally sobbed in chapter 2 (sad) and the end (happy).

Wow!! This book. These characters. I love them and I loved this book. 
Getting Magnolia and BJ’s happy ever after was so bittersweet. I loved it so much. 
This book is emotional, dark, funny, happy and very dramatic. It’s full of so many tropes and emotions. I cried and I laughed. I was shocked and taken by surprise.

I love the magnolia parks universe with all my heart, and even this book was my favourite of them all probably so far. I loved to see how BJ managed to not fuck up and how he really went full Nick Nelson this time… and the way he is dedicated to his girl is just amazing. Also, loved to read about the psychological journey Magnolia started because finally. 
Now tho… tf is wrong with Harley, Christian, Daisy, Jonah and Jules? Like Jules was doing so well when he reached out for Magnolia and stuff but then…? And hopefully nothing bad is gonna happen. 
Now, useless to say I loved the wedding and the fact that BJ prepared the necklace and the speech? And then you know I am not a fan of pregnancy trope but this is everything and I want to read a full book of them beating the perfect family.
