I was charmed by the world building and the way Emily interacts with the world. I also enjoyed Wallace as well. The two of them together are such a silly adventure.

What a fun light hearted read! This was a good pallet cleanser between more dark series. This reminded me of the book, “Once Upon a Broken Heart” by Stephanie Garber.

I almost want to call this a cozy fantasy, but there are some pretty dark moments that keep it from that label. 

While the matter-of-fact narration style grated on my nerves at the beginning, it ended up being very charming. It also lended itself to make the cute moments even cuter. 

Someone else said Wendell and Emily have a Howl and Sophie vibe and I 100% agree!! Made their dynamic all the more comforting and cute to me.

Really liked this one. A bit slow at the beginning, stayed mainly for the cozy vibes and the FMC's personality and dark humour. Started to pick up the pace around the 25% mark, but still remained a simple read, without major action scenes or complicated worldbuilding, which I enjoyed. I was kind of thrown off a bit by some gory details that showed up in random places, specially because the rest of the book was very "light" on that aspect. I wish the romance was a little more developed, Bambleby's actions

a.k.a. proposal

fell kind of flat. Definitely will be reading the second one.
