In this episode, Emily and Alex dive into Magnolia Parks by Jessa Hastings—a story full of toxic vibes, poetic writing, and characters who feel both untouchable and oddly relatable. Whether you fell for BJ or Tom, the lyrical style of writing transported everyone back to the all-consuming way they loved in their early 20s, despite the frequent mentions of frankly awful wardrobe choices. Join them as they discuss the gripping, messy relationships and explore why this book, flaws and all, is impossible to put down.
