I really enjoyed this one. Lots of fun magical hijinks and general friendship humor that I loved. The fake dating romance built well, and while I typically HATE the miscommunication trope, I enjoyed that they gave the story actual stakes. The end was a tad bit predictable to me but it didn't take away from my enjoyment at all. Sapphic witchy romance perfect for fall
Pros:
- Rom-com with ACTUAL humor in it
- Believable build to the romance
- Fun exploration and even some action scenes with magic
- Friend group with depth that moves the plot along
- Large cast kept the story interesting and made the world feel full
- Good contemporary fantasy world-building for a rather short book
Cons:
- slight miscommunication trope
- terrible family members being terrible got a little repetitive
