ohmygod this book was incredible. it felt like a fusion of Ashley Poston and Emily Henry's writing styles with its inclusion of magical elements and its focus on platonic/familial relationships.
this was my first read of Jimenez's and I really only picked it up because I want to read the third book in this series, but this HOOKED ME IN. I read half of this book in the first sitting--it was so engaging and something about the writing style made it really digestible and quick. I was also so impressed by Jimenez's ability to create a focus on real life issues (access to healthcare in remote communities, e.g.) while still illustrating a beautiful love story. I grew such an attachment to these characters, and I was rooting for them so bad; this is exactly what I want my romance books to make me feel.
the only reason I had to knock this read's rating down was because it included domestic abuse (both emotional and physical). I think it was a great respectful representation, and while it's on me to read the CWs, I missed them, and I don't think I was in the right headspace to be reading about it.
all that being said: I will be comin back to this series bc this book truly was sooooo good!!
