About the Book
What would you
do if you were face-to-face with the one who got away?
It’s been years since Jennie Copley left Magnolia, NC—and her
dreams of happily-ever-after—in the rearview mirror. But when her beloved nana
turns ninety, she forces herself to come home for the birthday party…and runs
into Lucas Michaels, the boy who broke her heart all those years ago. She’d
hoped to never see him again, but life—and Nana—has other plans…
Lucas is still in love with Jennie—time and distance could
never change that. When she left for college, Lucas knew she had big dreams and
he didn’t want to stand in her way. Now, forced together to plan Nana’s party,
he can’t get her off his mind. Jennie is only in town a little while. Can he
convince her to give him one more chance?
My Review
I have The Magnolia Sisters next on my reading list, so when I was also offered the prequel to read, I decided to give it a go. Novellas are not normally my cup of tea, but I thought it could give some insight into the series I was about to start. This is a sweet introduction, and since starting The Magnolia Sisters, I know we do get an update on Lucas and Jennie, so it was nice to have an idea of their backstory. While I don’t think you have to read this prior to starting the stories, you can probably finish it in one sitting and get an idea of the setting if you are planning to read the series.
