Magnolia Parks is like stepping into the world of Gossip Girl if it were written with more heartache and sharper edges. Jessa Hastings nails that intoxicating mix of luxury, toxicity, and longing—you can practically smell the designer perfume and feel the champagne hangovers. Magnolia and BJ’s relationship is messy, magnetic, and maddening in the best way, pulling you into their on-again-off-again spiral like you’re watching a car crash you can’t look away from.
The writing is lush and a little indulgent, full of quotes you’ll want to underline, and the characters are flawed enough to feel real. That said, the drama can get repetitive, and sometimes you just want to shake them and scream “make better choices!” But honestly, that’s part of the charm—this book thrives in its chaos.
If you love character-driven stories about beautiful disasters and the people who love them, this is your poison. And yes, I’ll be grabbing the next one immediately.
