The pacing of this was pretty slow, especially at the beginning. There was also kind of a fake ending somewhere in the middle, and I thought that the book was over, but it wasn't. I didn't really like Essie, and was pretty horrified at how she treated/talked about her exes, especially considering the circumstances of the relationships ending

although the guy who got frostbite on his dick was kind of a jerk spreading rumors but also wild and hilarious that there would be two books where people talk about how they got frostbite on their dick published within basically three months of each other lol

. This was a bit of a disappointment/frustrating read and I can't see myself checking out any more Johnson in the future.

This book is chaos and the blub does it absolutely no justice. It sounds like a run of the mill rom com with a little magic thrown in, but it is not.

This story is why the word "romp" was coined. I was taken for an absurd ride with absurd characters (ie glass parrots, evil bees?, and man-eating plants) that somehow felt like a warm hug. It is like no other book I have read so lets call it... a romcom on mushrooms in the best possible way.

Pace is a little uneven. It’s a slow start, but if you can make it through the first third of the book it picks up.
