Magnolia Parks by Jessa Hastings
5.0
I'm going to start off this review by stating that Magnolia Parks is a book/series that is not for everyone. It's messy in so many ways and the characters are all deeply flawed with a multitude of issues. CW: substance abuse, cheating, overdose, co-dependency. That being said, I absolutely loved it because at the moment I'm loving messy romances and this book was M E S S Y 🫠
BJ Valentine and Magnolia Parks have constantly been in each others orbit. They've known each other forever, dated for a bit but are at an impasse. BJ cheated on Magnolia three years ago and both of them cannot move on from that betrayal. This is a book about both of them trying to move on with their lives, but not really because they can't. They have that kind of love that's destructive and they can’t function without each other. Yet, all the people they bring in their orbit end up getting hurt 😞.
This was my first book by Jessa Hastings and I love her writing style! It's eccentric and fun, but then there will be certain scenes or chapter that just gut me and leave my heart crying on behalf of these characters. I have so many highlighted sections of this book 🥲🥹
If you are a fan of audiobooks - I highly highly recommend the audiobook of Magnolia Parks. The narration was done by Benjamin Noble and Ella-Rae Smith and they were amazing. They embodied BJ and Magnolia perfectly.
If you're looking for an unconventional romance book that's angsty and swoony and full of heartbreak I would suggest Magnolia Parks. I'm already looking forward to the next book.
I received a complimentary copy and audiobook from the publisher.
