January Book Review {2024}

January 31, 2024

This series is compared to Gossip Girl and Made in Chelsea. Think rich, gorgeous socialites that run London. This series really has a way of sucking you in. If you’re not prepared to invest your time, you might need to skip this series. But if you’re looking for some toxic romance that will leave you wanting more, then this series is just what you need.

These are the original covers, and I love how unique each one is made. 

Magnolia Parks | by Jess Hastings

Magnolia Parks | by Jessa Hastings

Magnolia Parks

The best way I can describe this book is a beautiful mess.

Magnolia Parks is gorgeous, affluent, self-involved, and a rich London socialite. She is in love with Britain’s most photographed bad boy who broke her heart BJ Ballentine.

But Magnolia and BJ are meant to be, and everyone knows it.
 
They’re in the stars… just suspended in a strange kind of love that looks like hurting each other a lot of the time: 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 endeavor to get over one another, it’s still each other they crawl back to.
But their dysfunction is catching up with them, pulling at their seams and fraying the world they’ve built; a world where neither has to 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?
 
This was a character driven story that had me sucked in to the very last moment. Although it was addicting, it was also very frustrating. Watching two lovers hurt each other over and over again and all they need to do is COMMUNICATE was very bothersome. I did love Tom Holland though, he had me wishing for more.  
I’m excite to learn more about this found family in the next book where it’s all about Daisy!
 
4/5 STARS
 

Daisy Haites | by Jessa Hastings

THIS was spectacular. Daisy Haites is the sister to her gang lord brother, Julian and all she wants is a normal life. She is studying to be a doctor (to help with the “family business” and she has a strong head on her shoulders. But all that comes in to question when she falls hard for Christian Hemmes, the beautiful and emotionally unavailable guy, who happens to be in love with his best friend’s girl, Magnolia. 

Ya’ll this one had my hands sweating. It is so intense and angsty I truly fell in love with Hemmes and Baby Haites. GAAAHHHH

5/5 Stars

Magnolia Parks The Long Way Home | Jessa Hastings

The third book takes us back to Magnolia and Beej, nearly a year later. These two and their toxicity and miscommunication has me screaming at my book!!! Magnolia has moved to New York and is living this posh, dreamy life while, it seems BJ has moved on with🙄 

But don’t be fooled, these two always find their way back to each other. 

I LOVED following this twisty love story and finding out some of their deepest secrets and one of the reasons they can’t seem to quit each other.  I truly fell in love with Bridget and her whit and clever personality. 

The ending had me brokennnnn so naturally I had to pick up the last book. 

5/5 Stars

Daisy Haites The Great Undoing | Jessa Hastings

We’re back for Daisy #2 and I hate to say I was a bit dissappointed. 

Here’s the lowdown. Daisy had left her old life behind, she was ready to start fresh in a new city with a new boyfriend. But when her safety is threatened she finds herself back under the watchful eye of her gang lord brother Julian. And to make things more complicated Julian starts seeing Magnolia Parks!! Yes, THAT MP!!

Here’s why I was so disappointed. This book didn’t have ENOUGH of Daisy and Hemmes. I got WAY too much of Julian’s perspective and honestly, I don’t really care about his pov.  One thing I did like was the friendship that developed between Magnolia and Daisy, started sour and became sweet. I especially loved Jonah’s relationship with Face, that is true family. 

The main reason I bumped it up to 4 stars is because the ending had me gripping the book like WHATTT?!! How will this end?

I cannot wait for the last book, March 19 is too far away!!!

4/5 Stars

All that to say, whether you love it or hate it you can’t help but be TOTALLY invested in these fictional character’s stories. I mean, seriously I feel like I know them.

Shrek Jr. was absolutely AMAZING! 💚🎭I am beyond proud of Maddox for taking on such a huge role and absolutely crushing it as Shrek. Watching him own that stage with confidence, talent, and perfect comedic timing was something I’ll never forget.And Mia? She kicked butt up there! She brought so much energy and heart to every moment, and seeing these two shine together made this mama’s heart so full.Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be humming “I’m a Believer” for the next three weeks… and wondering if we have room for a swamp in the backyard. 💚✨#maddoxzachary #maddoxandmia #shrekjr #shrekjrthemusical #actorsconservatorytheater ...
