Product Information

I tend to have a lot of thoughts and my brain begs for them to be released somewhere. So if you made it this far, thank you for staying to read all my lengthy thoughts lmao and thanks to Jess for convincing me to read this and dealing with my chaotic updates ❤️ even though I still question why with the stress it put me through 😅 save me. pls save me. i can get over never written threesomes and i can bear dumb dialogues and dumb ass scenes. but what i can’t get over is when a manwhore and LOVE INTEREST calling the “girl of his dreams” a slut for having sex with another man. This book is the ANTITHESIS of what I look for in my romance books and… I LOVED IT. What that says about my mental state, idk.

Every single interaction held my interest. 𝐲𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐌𝐂𝐬 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫?? 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐡, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠. I’m telling you It didn’t even feel like I was reading at that point. I was simply there living with them. And I still see ppl loving Julian. HOW?! Even after this ending, I mean pls it’s not that hard to figure it out (𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘋𝘏1)… first of all these characters drive me utterly insane, but in the best way possible. this series had me pulling my hair, screaming into my pillow, sobbing till my eyes were red and swollen. the relationships and friendships in this series are just so heavy and complicated. it’s toxic, lots of miscommunication, lots of drama, unhealthy habits, etc. i think this series hits me like it does, because it’s so raw, heavy and real. i both love it and hate it with my whole heart. it’s very hard and almost impossible to explain my feelings about this series tbh, but if you’ve read it and you love it, you probably know what i mean. reading this book was like watching a car crash occur multiple times but never being able to fully look away. the characters in this book or so incredibly flawed. it is like this constant push and pull whether or not you should be angry with them or sympathize with them. and in the end my heart just hurt for some and wanted to murder the rest 🔪The relief I felt in the last 5% when they finally act like adults and are actively trying to be good together !!! Ahh finally. And yeah of course I liked BJ’s big gesture, about time that they sort things out and stop messing each other and everyone else around. It was definitely cute. I actually started to tolerate bj’s pathetic ass in this part, but I also still disliked him 😭. he finally decided to go to therapy and the reason why he cheated on magnolia is talked about. It had to do with a traumatic experience that happened to him. I did feel bad for him and what happened to him that triggered him into cheating but it’s not an excuse. It’s more so an explanation, but I still hate the cheating so I’ll never fully like him umm, why was tom completely written out of this though? it was kinda weird. like he just vanished wtf :/ i actually wanted more of my beloved here and he just wasn’t there?? he was the only sane one in the bunch and he’s just gone, what a tragedy. 😔💔 But when you dust that bike off to ride again??

I’m so mad at BJ right now I feel like he personally hurt me lmao but I also just want him to be okay because he is so clearly not okay and it’s so heartbreaking to read. Did you ever imagine it?" she cuts me off. "That we'd be the ones who'd hurt each other more than anyone else?" I'm actually proper happy she got closure on that. This bomb was dropped so casually i was like WAIT A DAMN MINUTE- TF?! LETS REWIND THAT SHIT. I literally stopped hating her for everything she did and all...

i know that some love is beautiful, and some is freeing, some unravels you, some love poisons you, some blinds you, some betters you, and some loves break you into in invisible ways that no one else knows about until you have to stand up and the weight of your love crushes your bones.” i’ve ranted enough about all this lol it’s almost to make a person wonder why i’d have even given it 4 stars 😭 but it’s mainly because of how invested the characters and the drama had me. this book was at least better than the mess that was book 1, magnolia parks. this book is split into 2 parts so I’ll just give my thoughts on each one

Lmfao I know I’m undecided about most things but I usually know my preferences… well knew them?? Frankly, It had a compilation of all the tropes I avoid. But when I say that these kinds of tropes have to be done well for me to like them a SMIDGE?? Yeah, the authors outdone herself with the writing. I honestly did not expect this book to make me feel ALL THESE EMOTIONS but I am a broken mess. I still feel like I have so much to process. I may have pulled out some of my hair and had my heart skip a couple beats and drop outta my ass but this was incredible. this book is normal people (rich version) because the way they all struggle with communicating makes me want to make my head into 3 types of walls. concrete. plywood. and one with spikes protruding out of it. Call me insane but I love being apart of this universe now especially as you can also find beauty in the rawness of it. This was very angsty and idk if I loved or hated it haha probably both. I do have to say that If you thought the last book was a rollercoaster of emotions this book tops it x100. Although, it did have its happy and humorous moments so there’s that.second, cheating is where i draw the line, always. however, I consumed this book with all the disputes, drama, and gossip that shaped the narrative into its unique skeleton. i inhaled the melancholic quotes, was fascinated by Magnolia’s superpowers to always deduce with precision what and in which brand anyone and everyone was dressed. but, I don't think this book falls under the category of "your classic contemporary-romance" and you need to keep that in mind before you dive into it. Please be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery - the approximate delivery time is usually between 1-2 business days. This honestly felt like a reality tv version of gossip girl but make it London with affluence, wit and humor. I’ve never read a book filled with such drama that feels realistic given all the context within it (actually no I have but this surpasses the addicted series in so many ways namely with the cheating aspect) and trust that I’m still reeling given how it all unfolded I have all these ties to him. First boyfriend, first kiss, first love, first time, first everything, really. How he was my teacher and my partner in so many key life areas. My best friend and my family and my pillow and my quilt.” Thanks to Jess for influencing me and letting me blow up your messages with way more than what I said here. I hope you’re happy! 🫶🏼
