Release Date: April 02, 2019
My mother's New Year's resolution for me was simple: make a serious effort at putting myself out there and dating again, and do it for one full year.
Or until I fell in love. Whichever came first.
How hard could one year of swipes and matches and awkward first dates be?
In a word: bad.
In nine words: bad and also hilarious, demoralizing, exhausting, and ridiculously amusing.
But the only thing worse than dating in the era of hookup apps and unsolicited dick pics is the absolute whole-life-flail of falling in love.

The Magnolia Chronicles: Episode One
Kate Canterbary doesn’t have it all figured out, but this is what she knows for sure: spicy-ass salsa and tequila solve most problems, living on the ocean–Pacific or Atlantic–is the closest place to perfection, and writing smart, smutty stories is a better than any amount of chocolate. She started out reporting for an indie arts and entertainment newspaper back when people still read newspapers, and she has been writing and surreptitiously interviewing people—be careful sitting down next to her on an airplane—ever since.
Kate lives on the water in New England with Mr. Canterbary and the Little Baby Canterbary, and when she isn’t writing sexy architects, she’s scheduling her days around the region’s best food trucks.

My Review:
The Magnolia Chronicles by Kate Canterbary is simply perfection!! It can be read as a standalone book but also as a addition to the Walsh family series books. I enjoyed Magnolia so much! Magnolia is a character that was introduced in Necessary Restorations. I was excited to read that she was getting her own book. In her story, we get to see who she is: her ups and downs. Learn that she is human and makes mistakes; that she was hurt by love and just wants to be loved and where she is put first by a man, not last.
This book shows us Magnolia's journey in dating and her hilarious interaction with a dating app. Through her dating journey, she ends up meeting two men - Rob and Ben- and she gets their permission to date them both. This is a beautifully written story that takes the reader on a emotional rollercoaster ride that shows how Magnolia overcame the heartbreak from the past to let love into her life and the path she took to do so. We got to see past characters in this story with the Walshes popping up all in the book. I so loved that!! But its not a Walsh thing-- this is different- loved meeting Magnolia's family and friends. I enjoyed the ending. I won't say who she finally chose to be with but I do know whose book I want next
My Rating: 4.8 stars ******
