Magnolia Creek

In Magnolia Creek, everyone knows your history, which is a problem when the person you’ve started wanting has been standing in your kitchen for years. Maya, Iris, Sophie, Vale, Lex and Raven have been each other’s people since community college. Then they start falling, one at a time, for men the group has opinions about.

Each book belongs to one woman, and the other five are in the background, watching, texting, and absolutely not minding their own business.

What order should I read Magnolia Creek in?

Read them 1 → 6, in the order below. Each book is a complete standalone with its own couple and its own happily-ever-after, so you can start anywhere. But the six friends turn up in each other’s books, and couples who got together earlier stay together in the background. Reading in order means every cameo lands.
