Magnolia Parks: The Long Way Home (The Magnolia Parks Universe)

How many loves do you get in a lifetime? And are Magnolia and BJ each other's one and only? 

It’s been nearly a year since everything happened between Magnolia Parks and BJ Ballentine on the steps of the Mandarin Oriental, and since then it seems like everything has changed.


Magnolia has a life in New York now and BJ appears to have finally let go and moved on.

But when they both wind up back in London and are thrust together once again, they find themselves asking their age-old question: How many loves do you actually get in a lifetime, and, most important—are they each other’s?

I have not read a book in so long that encapsulates me the way this one did from the very beginning! I was so aggravated, and excited reading about Parks and BJ that it reminded me of how well of a job Jenna did developing the characters. I eagerly await the next book in Magnolia’s series.

Ummm this is the most toxic thing I've ever read. This is like, in Vanderpump Rules, if Stassi had stayed with Jax in Season 1 but Jax got with every other server at Sur (and did hard drugs).

Magnolia literally was gaslit for about 300 pages. Her drug, alcohol and sex addicted boyfriend, BJ, cheated on her with an undisclosed woman. They broke up and she started dating other people. BJ didn't like that so he slept with 3/4th of the London population and then has the audacity to tell Magnolia that she's the problem. Magnolia is too good for him and I don't know why she was so blindly in love with him.

That being said, if this was a Hulu/FX series, I would watch it immediately.
