y'all....i don't even know what to say, where to START! my heart is going a million bpm and i genuinely feel like i could throw up. i'm in complete disbelief that people actually read this book before the sequel was out and lived like this for more than the 30 minutes i'm going to take to calm myself down and then read the next book that BETTER be the last because i refuse to re-live this TRAUMA a second time. jessa hastings you are insane. i want you checked into a psych ward, top floor though because you at least deserve a view for writing this tragic ass masterpiece that i'm sure will haunt me for who knows how long. 

when dem (@demis.library) rec'd me this she made it a point that i couldn't know anything going in and while i love her for that, i hate her for it so much more. 

but...i'm doing the same for y'all. maybe you can get some glimpses of it from my twitter thread but if there's a truth to be told, it's that there is nothing i could say in a review or a tweet that would prepare you. prepare you for the pain, for the heartbreak, for the love, or for the life of magnolia parks.
