I honestly don’t understand the high reviews. This book felt like a shallow cringey romance for normies. Potentially interesting concept but did not enjoy the execution. Quite disappointed 👎

Too many characters, loose ends and plot holes. Found the magic/witchcraft aspects unclear often at times instead of immersive, but loveable main characters and some good plot moments.
