I won’t lie to you. This was a tough read, it’s grief filled—be warned. But it was beautiful and beautifully written, as always. I cried throughout this entire book, it was absolutely heart wrenching. I had to take my time reading this one, not for any reason other than I knew from the jump that this book would wrap up the story of Magnolia and BJ. It’s this bittersweet feeling that with every page turned, that you’re one page closer to never reading their story again.
I saw so much of myself in Magnolia, I think that’s why this was also tough to read. It was like a lightbulb moment of “holy shit, I’m not alone.” And it was lovely and awful, but perfectly perfect and I’m thankful for them, for her, for Jessa to have written what she did, for those of us that need this, that needed to heal. Thank you. I am forever grateful for you, for the bookish community that introduced me to the Magnolia Parks Universe.
Literally crying as I even write this review. The only thing that’s holding me together is that Christian and Daisy’s story will continue.
