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.
