The Secret of a Heart Note by Stacey Lee

3.0

The Secret of a Heart Note is a charming story that reminded me a little of Nicola Yoon's Everything Everything. Mimosa is an aromateur who helps her mother concoct elixirs to help people fall in love. The irony of her job as a love witch is that she cannot fall in love, lest she loses her heightened sense of smell and scent. A glitch in one of her operations leads Mimosa to try to undo her mistake, bringing her closer to star athlete Court Sawyer. Mimosa learns about falling in love itself, but this story works most of all because of Mimosa's unwavering devotion to undo her mistakes in order to help everyone around her. Her selflessness and compassion drives this story to be endearing and heartwarming.
