I can't believe this is probably Reylo Fanfic!?!?!
This book was hilarious and had me actively giggling at many parts. The universe Hawley creates was fun and fleshed out. I love that it was grounded in certain parts of reality (American healthcare and academia had me screaming) but also kept its magical elements front and center.
Mariel and Oz were fun characters with a unique plot, although I wish the book had taken place over a longer period as I'm not a huge fan of insta-love. The side characters were all a bit flat but I do want to read the sequel since the villain of this book is seemingly the love interest in the next!
Also, some of the silliest things in this book that had me screaming: Richard Nixon selling his soul to the devil and Watergate being a result. The magic doctorate, and Oz's dad getting beheaded during the French Revolution.
