Love & Other Cursed Things by Krista Ritchie, Becca Ritchie
5.0
April 2023 reread:
To remember the happiest moment of our lives. Where October and I chose each other. Where we continue to choose each other.
And whatever fate has in store, we write our own legends now.
This was all the romance and mystery I never knew I needed from Krista and Becca and I'm so happy this book is finally out in the world! I tore through this book so quickly, my only complaint was that it wasn't even longer.
Zoey and October were such badass protagonists. I loved their backstory and the chemistry they had with each other. There were some intriguing town politics and dynamics with the curse surrounding Mistpoint Harbor that added complications to their relationship but from the get go, I was just rooting for these two to get and stay together.
I loved learning about all the lore and legends about how the curses work. And tied with that was this mystery that was spooled out perfectly that I was just desperate to know more, more, more, and I could not stop myself from reading the whole book in one sitting.
On top of all that were the familial relationships that Krista and Becca write about like no other. I loved October and Babette and their relationship, how much they tried to support each other in their own struggles. And I absolutely adored all the Durands and their bonds. The age gap and dynamics between them added such a perfect element to the book, and I'm desperate for more about these side characters in the future. I need their stories. Desperately.
There were so many twists and truth bombs in this book that like I said, I finished the book in one sitting. I loved every minute I got to spend in Mistpoint Harbor!
