Omgggg Magnolia and BJ in therapy was not what I expected for this book, but wow what an amazing and important part of wrapping up their story.

I can’t tell you how beautiful this book was to me. The wrap up to Magnolia and BJ’s story, and the intertwined stories of their past and present (re: Bridget, Arrie, Harley, and the Ballentines) was brilliant. And their wedding? Sobbing. The mountain climb “for Bridget”? SOBBING. The last 100 pages of this book had me heaving on the airplane. Just absolutely an exquisite end to her story.

Also, Jessa Hastings has me frothing at the mouth for Daisy/Christian’s next book. What do you mean she slept with Rome? What do you mean they “broke up”? Like excuse me?!

Omg wait also. The Julian confession. That broke me in half. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Honestly, I can’t wait for the next installment. Absolute knockout.
