If I were to change one thing about my reading experience, it would be to have gone into this booking thinking it was a contemporary fiction rather than a contemporary romance. I feel like I might have picked up on different details that way.

Regardless, I found this book quite enjoyable. Seeing the difference in Daphne’s behavior and feelings from the beginning to the end of the book was interesting. This book reminded me heavily of an episode of Black Mirror. Some of how this author writes irked me. Certain parts/sentences were really unnecessary and kind of took away from the tone of the scene. I wish I knew more about Los Angeles, there were a lot of references that made absolutely no sense to me. 

Also the ending was very “How I Met your Mother.”

This started really good and I love the world building and the magic system. I thought it would be a little more complex character and story wise since it’s an adult book. I was able to start predicting a lot of twists. I might revisit this one the series is finished!

Wasn’t really connecting with the characters. Cute premise and meet cute. Maybe I’ll give it another go later on but I’ll probably just read other books in the series.
