Despite the number of potential trigger warnings, this book is NOT what meets the eye and was quite the entertaining read!

Definitely not my typical read. Oh how to classify this genre… RomCom just doesn’t seem right, but i liked it. Oddly lighthearted for the main plot 😬 I loved Medde and Nathan’s college romance development, but I kept feeling so mad that she wouldn’t tell her family with believing in the curse. Medde gutted me too. Nathan got custody of me in the split. Anyway, a couple things were off for me. First, I loved the idea of the Aunties, but they weren’t very defined as their own characters. They all basically felt like the same character for me. Secondly, there was a lot of lying and withholding of information and it felt too close to miscommunication trope for my liking. Overall, though it was an enjoyable read.

Characters are unknowingly drugged. I believe readers are meant to assume that there may be SA if the main character doesn’t defend herself but it is not explicitly stated.

Had me giggling and kicking my feet like a DCOM but with more swearing, murder, and family anxiety.
