Originally from Australia, Jessa Hastings now lives in California with her husband, two children, her cat and a dog that she semi-regrets getting. the way he had the audacity to blame her for his shitty actions, like WHAT, HOLD UP this is YOUR undoing 😃 he knows how much his actions affect her and he still does it bc he’s obviously a sadist. It's about lovers who loved someone more than they loved themselves and it's both a tragedy and a blessing. Everything gets more complicated when beautiful, broken-hearted socialite Magnolia Parks enters the scene and Julian finds himself entangled with her.

I would never say their love is the best kind because it's toxic, maladjusted and dysfunctional but it's also real and heart-aching and soulmatism kind of love. I knew what I was getting myself into when I started this series and it delivered mostly everything I was expecting from it. I spent her seventeenth birthday party sweating fucking bullets because I’m pretty sure her dad told Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott to stare me down and keep me in line.I have never read a book filled with this much drama and angst and I absolutely loved every second of it even though it was heart wrenching. I enjoyed magnolias character despite wanting to knock plenty of sense into her as she really needed it. They are just playing this dangerous game of who's gonna give up first and its making me loose my goddamn mind because its not funny. The lights go off and she stares at me through the darkness a few seconds longer, and I love her in the dark.

Magnolia has a life in New York now, BJ appears to have finally let go and moved on - but when they both wind up back to London and are thrust together once again, they find themselves asking their age-old question? i am forever going to be in complete shambles by the end of this book but honestly something other than a hea is kinda refreshing. In that moment, I was over it and knew that there was no way Magnolia was going to have any proper character development.They can't separate themselves from their tangled mess of love, hatred, trauma, lies, truths, and infidelity.
