I’m not usually one for miscommunication tropes and it was definitely difficult to read at points. But Rory and Morgan’s relationship was endearing and had comedic moments that helped me enjoy it more. It’s a cute sapphic witchy romance where one witch spells another and she’s trying to decipher what is real and fake in their relationship, and really what she believes can be real. 

When I looked past the issues in their relationship that could so easily be fixed by talking to each other. The good moments are where both of these women stand up for one another and push each other past their own personal comforts. There different strengths and weakness compliment each other nicely and help each other as they navigate the witch world.

This was a fun romance. We get to enter a world where magical people live amidst non-magical people. Overall, I was rooting for the main characters in this book and enjoyed the descriptions of the many ways magic was used in the book.

Combination of miscommunication trope and stupid main character trope with a touch of emotional abuse.

The main character Morgan starts fake dating Rory, a magical prodigy and small time celebrity. However, real feeling start to develop but when a mistake leads Morgan to believe she has given Rory a love potion, thus violating her consent, she decides to be mean to her in order to break them up. The miscommunication trope along with the stupid main character trope combination was too much for me, I am not interested to see any redemption or grand gesture whatsover after the amount of times Morgan decided to not tell Rory about the supposed love potion, violating her consent once again every few chapters.
