The Question
A Magnolia Grove companion novel featuring Wells Spencer and Heather. Best read after Magnolia Grove: The Complete Series.
Everyone remembers what Heather did.
After one mistake destroyed her life in Magnolia Grove, Heather thought leaving was the only way to move forward. Starting over at The Commons is supposed to be temporary. A cheap room, a fresh start, and no reminders of the people she hurt.
Then her new roommate turns out to be Wells Spencer.
Wells knows exactly who Heather is. He has every reason to hate her. Instead, he keeps making her laugh. He sleeps just a few feet above her on the top bunk. He shares kisses that were definitely never supposed to happen. With his reputation as Magnolia Grove's biggest flirt, you'd never guess he's still grieving the woman he lost. Beyond Heather's guilt is a woman who has spent years believing she's unworthy of love.
Falling for each other is complicated enough.
Because Wells is hiding a secret that could destroy everything they've built, and the people Heather left behind are about to force them both to answer the one question they've spent years avoiding.
They've already fallen in love.
The question is whether either of them believes they deserve it.

It's been a long time since I read J.B. McGee's book and after the first few chapters, it feels like coming home. I love the instant attraction happened between Wells & Heather without them realizing at first. Love how we got cameo from familiar characters. Though I wish we had more scenes with the other people who live in The Commons.
This book is a fun read and better being read at one sitting because once I started reading, I kept wanting to know what happens next.
