'If Gossip Girl and Made in Chelsea had a baby, it would be this book.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'How many loves do you get in a lifetime?' Welcome to London's highest society, where the tables are set and the hearts are on fire... 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 their every sad endeavour 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?

i LOVED magnolia and bj so much. their romance and relationship is so realistic to me. truly did enjoy the characters and the writing immensely
This is the LAST damn time I read a book I found off booktok!!! This was so brutal!!! Did I read the same book as everyone else or am I missing something.
Nothing redeeming or relatable about any of these characters. They were all so self involved and stupid. I could have cared less about the “romance”. The writing was confusing... was this YA or adult I have no idea. All I know is this book was not for me and I will definitely not be reading any of the other books in the series
Gossip Girl meets After(book series).
Definition of a guilty pleasure. Great as a palate cleanser.
Spoiler-Free Review:
Sorry not sorry to everyone I now beg to read this book! Also sorry not sorry for the plethora middle of the night dms and voice notes I sent to @bookish.Teresa raving over this book! If you're a fan of the gossip girl universe and books of the like, you will love Magnolia Parks. Magnolia Parks is set in London and the characters are young adults in their 20s, and they're toxic in the best way! This is book one in this series, and the story follows BJ and Magnolia. It's dual POV and has a few time jumps, but I love that we get this from both sides of their story. The writing style is so unique. I explained it to Teresa as like a stream of conscious thoughts from the characters. It reads exactly how I imagine the characters talking and thinking. Magnolia is a very wealthy young woman who has been in love with BJ since she was 14. Certain events broke up their romantic relationship, but they remain friends and are essential like a crutch for each other. They need each other in times of stress and sadness but are also so toxic to one another. This book is full of angst and tension. There is a lot of talk of sex, but none of it is on page or explicit. Lots of drug use and lots of drinking that is definitely on page. There's so much love, so much betrayal, so many things. I absolutely ate this up, and will be starting book 2 tonight. This is a new adult romance, 18+ for themes, language, sexual content.
