Don’t let this cute cover fool you, this book is such an emotional rollercoaster. While it is a relatively “cute” romance the author also dives into tougher topics such as: grief, loss and family drama. I was both overwhelmingly angry and sad on Olive’s behalf in regards to her family situation and everything with her ex. I honestly wasn’t happy with the lack of resolution on either subject. I really wanted Olive to stand up to her parents and for Lindsey to face consequences. The ending was rough for me with the miscommunication between Olive and Stella. I wish we would have gotten Stella’s POV, I feel like the added insight would have added a lot more to the story.
I have been craving witchy romances lately and this one scratched the itch for me. I loved the cozy, magical small town vibes. I personally wouldn’t call this an enemies to lovers, but more misunderstood rivals maybe. Overall I found Benedict and Lucinda’s story entertaining and sweet. I was left wanting more from the side characters as I felt like there were a lot of bread crumbs dropped on possible storylines to come. I am excited to see that the authors has more coming for the residents of Foxford in 2025.
