The MPU has sucked me in, deep. I wasn’t quite sure about Magnolia as a character, but maybe that was because she’s a little bit too much like me. Like, looking into a mirror? To see all the worst parts of yourself staring back at you. Rough. But she’s flawed, and human in the best ways. Her and BJ… HER AND BEEJ. I love them, how they should be loved by all. This story is perfect and HEART WRENCHING. Waiting for Into the Dark to release kept me up at night.
