Sweet Magnolias = Virgin River

upon playing through the first chapter of sweet magnolias i have deduced that this is just an alternate universe virgin river where we go to the small town to get a house and everyone is nice and sweet and our big city girl gets melted by the kindness and authenticity of the people there and falls in love and then she’s never going to leave because these small towns are always basically a cult 😭😭 i’m gonna eat it up because i do everytime but it’s giving the same small town cult vibes except the cult is three southern women giving girlboss empowerment 😭😭
