Thanks so much to the publisher and netgalley for this e-arc!
This was such a fun YA sapphic romance with an interesting look at magic, magical societies, and influencer parents. Aiofe and Luna's relationships went in loops I wasn't expecting, and when it happened for the third time, I have to admit I laughed out loud because I wasn't expecting as many loops.
They were both a bit of tortured souls who had to learn to stand up for themselves as they constantly stood up for each other. Their dynamic was delightful, and I thought the ways they kept protecting each other were very romantic. Family is the most significant theme of this story, as they both have to make choices that their family might not understand for the sake of themselves.
The side characters here were especially fun as they could remember all that Luna and Aiofe couldn't and would get so exasperated, especially during the third and fourth loops between them.
I wish this had been a little longer and had maybe a bit more on these characters' self-improvement, but I think this is a great YA for kids of today!
