How many loves do you get in a lifetime? And are Magnolia and BJ each other’s one and only?

It’s been nearly a year since everything happened between Magnolia Parks and BJ Ballentine on the steps of the Mandarin Oriental, and since then it seems like everything has changed.

Magnolia has a life in New York now and BJ appears to have finally let go and moved on.

But when they both wind up back in London and are thrust together once again, they find themselves asking their age-old question: How many loves do you actually get in a lifetime, and, most important-are they each other’s?

JESSA HASTINGS

An Australian-native, Jessa Hastings now lives in Sherman Oaks, California with her husband, two children, her cat and a dog that she semi-regrets getting. She feels guilty writing that here but is fairly confident he won’t read it. She is presently exasperated by the US medical systems (but who isn’t?), she’s also knee-deep in Stranger Things theories and is an aspiring water-connoisseur. She still misses Australian breakfasts, tans very well and highly recommends the Coconut Cake from Erewhon. She still (obviously) struggles to write a topically relevant author’s biography and Magnolia Parks: The Long Way Home is her third novel. Sorry for this.
