Magnolia Parks: Hastings, Jessa: 9781737281108: Amazon.com: Books

You know when you touch fire, you're going to get burned? The characters in this book are missing a pain response because they touch the fire repeatedly.This is a childhood friend to lovers. This book is filled with a vicious cycle of jealousy, lies, and cheating.BJ and Magnolia have been each others everything since they were young. Until BJ makes a fatal mistake and cheats. Their entire lives are so woven together,they can't stay away from each other. She has boyfriends that she doesn't sleep with, just to make him jealous. He is Londons f boy. They seemingly get off by hurting each other, and they dont know how to love without the pain.All BJ wants is Magnolia, yet his pants never can manage to stay on long enough for him to regain her trust.I had to remind myself that the characters are in their early 20s and don't yet have the neurons to make sensible decisions.This book was frustratingly addicting. I think I hate it, but I also love it. I don't know what drugs the author put in the pages, but I couldn't put this book down. The book ended on a cliffhanger, so I will likely be spending the latter part of this month devouring this series.

Oh, how my blood pressure went up reading this book! There was a point, about 120 pages or so in, that I had to cut away and read another book to calm my nerves. Then, in a maneuver to avoid it further, I found another book to read. After 2 in-between reads, I reluctantly ventured back into Magnolia Parks. It was a forced endeavor. And once I picked it back up, I couldn't put it back down.The impact of this book will sneek up on you with a high you won't feel coming, but you'll enjoy the heck out of it the second it kicks in. It's euphoric. I've never read a book quite like this. It frustrated me in the best way. It made my plams sweaty and my nerves scorch.This is only book 1 in a 5 book (thus far) series! What the heck did I get myself into?!?! Whatever it is - I'M IN! Holy jeez, is this a ride! The toxicity that is Magnolia and BJ is addictive, heartbreaking, and utterly maddening. Jessa Hastings is a masterful author/ storyteller. Her writing is supreme. The humor is top-tier. Her character dialog is spectacular. For as much as I wanted to SCREAM (and pull out some of my hair) while reading this - I also, enthusiastically, want to jump with joy in gratitude that this book exists.

Shipped quickly, arrived in great condition. The book is perfect, just as described in the listing. The font is easily readable and the cover is in untouched condition.
