Another fun romp from Ali Hazelwood, this time with a supernatural twist and honestly quite compelling mystery. I thought everything going on with Serena was foreshadowed and built up really well, and though I predicted a couple twists, there were others that I completely did not see coming (but absolutely understood the signs of once it had been laid out).
I thought the romance was well-paced too. Ali Hazelwood is very good at setting up romances where the readers can readily identify what the love interests true feelings are, but it's still understandable in-context why the main character remains oblivious or consistently misinterprets signs. As someone who loves the trope of mutually oblivious pining, i absolutely love how consistently she writes to dynamic.
