About the Book
She is a beautiful, affluent, self-involved, and mildly neurotic London socialite. He is Britain’s most photographed bad boy who broke her heart.
Magnolia Parks and BJ Ballentine are meant to be, and everyone knows it.
She dates other people to keep him at bay; he sleeps with other girls to get back at her for it. But at the end of every sad endeavor to get over one another, it’s still each other they crawl back to.
But now their dysfunction is catching up with them, pulling at their seams and fraying the world they’ve built; a world where neither has ever let the other go completely.
As the cracks start to show and secrets begin to surface, Magnolia and BJ are finally forced to face the formidable question they’ve been avoiding all their lives: How many loves do you really get in a lifetime?
My Review
There has been a lot of hype around this book and the series in general, so when I was asked to review it, I didn’t want to say no. Unfortunately, I wish I would have. From the beginning you are thrust into the incredibly toxic universe of Magnolia Parks, a British socialite with an on/off with relationship with BJ Ballentine. The characters are young, rich, self-absorbed, and don’t have many redeeming qualities. Not even much of the supporting cast does, except maybe Magnolia’s sister. I found myself speed reading through multiple sections because the storyline was repetitive and … well, let me be repetitive here – toxic. I really don’t have an interest in reading other books in the series because this was quite the turnoff for me.
