I feel like this could be a case of the book getting better if I stick with it but honestly I don’t want to
I feel like the dowager duchess in downton abbey like girl ‘you’re a woman with a brain and reasonable ability stop whining and find something to do’.
I just kept thinking girl you’re a witch, you can do magic why are you wallowing in despair and burnout. You hate your new boss and think he’s making your job a worse place but you still refuse everytime the owner offers to sell the business to you because ‘it might fail’. Again girl you can do magic tf

As with every magical realism thing I’ve read, I’m not sure I understood it but I enjoyed the writing so overall it was good

Deep exasperated sigh 
I feel like the disclaimer at the beginning was for the people who complained about how ‘lustful’ bride and not in love were (spoiler alert: not me) because where was the kink i was promised? Every time he was being ‘dominant’ i was just thinking this is it ?
It sucks too because i loved the setting and the characters. Diving is my favourite Olympic sport so for once i actually cared about the sports part of a sports romance and as a STEM girlie some of the jokes actually made me laugh out loud. I enjoyed it, I’m just annoyed because it could’ve been perfect

It’s more technical than I thought it would be and I feel like I’m not understanding and just listening with the audiobook. I might pick up a physical version in the future but I’ve seen some people say that the conclusions are already outdated so maybe not. It was interesting though
