Okay so intriguing. I’m not even sure if I liked it or not? It threw me for a loop 100%

Some of the advice at the beginning is honestly more general knowledge. But the ideas for places and personal stories at the end were great

Too nash and Emerson were just too great. And Winnie and beefcake too. 

Emerson moved to town and became the town dr and also the boys neighbor. She ends up bonding with cutler (aka beefcake) and becoming friends and then more with nash. But magnolia falls is just supposed to be a stop for her.

I adored Emerson and Nash’s relationship- when they were just friends and when they became more. He is actually such a nice guy and was there for her when she needed it. 

The relationship she had with beefcake was so sweet too. He is actually the cutest kid ever.

Twisty and turny, which was fun. Loved the drama but honestly if I was in that trip with those people I would have thrown myself off the windmill.

Stop this was absolute perfection. 

Hayden and Darcy are besties from college and she’s living with him after her relationship with his other bestie ends. She asks him to teach her to be a player but he’s been in love with her for 8 years. 

This was just so so so good. Hayden is actually the NICEST, MOST PERFECT guy. Darcy is such a good character too! Her struggle to find herself after her relationship ends is so real and relatable. 

I was dying for them to get together and their relationship was so so good.

This was so sweet. I really felt for Evie and Theo was clearly the nicest guy. I could have read a full length book of this story, easy. 

But… what were the other ornaments?
