Review: Magnolia – Kristi Cook

Review: Magnolia – Krist..

A swoonworthy contemporary; that was my first thought upon finishing Magnolia. It had all of the elements I love in a good contemporary. The love and hate vibe, the flirting, the scary storm that pushes them closer together and traps them making them deal with either feelings. Basically the perfect example of what all contemporary lovers love in a book. I started it at 7am one day and finished it by 11pm that night even with running out and doing errands. It was that kind of book and I’m so happy to have read it. Magnolia is the story of […]

In terms of full disclosure, I read this book after I read two books I had been dying for that were fantastic and nothing could live up to that. So I don’t know if my uncertain feelings are because this book was a ‘rebound’ book or if I really wasn’t as in love with it as I hoped I would be. I mean Dissonance wasn’t a bad book, but I didn’t feel like it was a great book either. The story is about Del, a girl that gets to travel […]
