How many loves do you get in a lifetime?

But good lord, this book was a punch in the chest. BJ and Magnolia are just so damn frustrating but you just want them to be able to love each other so bad. They both frustrated the hell out of me at times, but they carved a special little hole in my heart.

Something that I’ve struggled with my last few books was that the characters felt lack luster for me. This was not a problem for me this time around. These characters are larger than the paper they’re printed on. They are real and I can see them having thoughts and emotions long after I’ve closed my book. As far as I’m concerned these are all real people, and I love them all dearly for it. (Well most of them anyway.)

Im so excited for Daisy’s book though. I have a feeling I’m gonna relate to her personality a lot so that makes me really excited.
