The Conditions of Will
*This gorgeous edition comes with French flaps, deckled edges, and spot gloss*
From the author of the Magnolia Parks universe and the Never series comes a fresh family drama with a heavy dose of romance and a twist of mystery.
"I can't remember the last time I couldn't get a handle on myself and my emotions, but the lid is slipping.
Something about the slipping lid feels like it's Sam Penny's fault. Like he broke the seal and he's slowly opening me up."
London-based Georgia Carter, professional lie detector and body-language savant, has long been estranged from her infuriating, close-minded, wealthy South Carolina family. After a falling-out years ago, the chasm runs deep between the black sheep--Georgia and her gay, alcoholic brother--and their parents and elder siblings. But when their father dies suddenly, Georgia returns to the States for the funeral...where she comes face-to-face with Sam Penny, her brother's AA sponsor.
Amid the tensions, dramas and revelations of the family reunion, Georgia and Sam are instantly drawn to each other. However, Georgia's brother also harbors feelings for Sam, and the last thing Georgia wants to do is hurt the only family she's ever really had.
When their father's will reveals a surprising bequest to a mysterious stranger, Georgia's ability to read people becomes crucial in unraveling her father's hidden past. The delicate balance within the family teeters, and secrets--both old and new--threaten to push them beyond the breaking point.
There are only so many cracks a damaged family can take before it shatters.

I’ve never genuinely hated book characters as much as I hated Georgia’s siblings. My hands felt clammy reading some of these chapters cause I just wanted to reach into the book and scream.
It’s crazy how much I felt reading this, I was frustrated, annoyed, I wanted to say GEORGIA JUST TELL
THEM. GEORGIA U BETTER SWING AT THIS BITCH. You feel devastated when she feels devastated, you feel the anger that comes from the constant digs thrown at her from everyone. I almost feel like it was overkill how often people were jerks.
But ANYWAY.
I love how Jessa writes the mc’s inner monologues. I’ll be honest, for some books, I’ll just skim them.
But she makes her characters sooo complex you can’t help but want to pick their brain so see what the hell they’re thinking. This was a phenomenal read to me, I stayed up till 3 AM to finish it and I loved it 10 STARS
