Plot: 3.5 Stars
Spice: 🌶️
Character Development: 2 stars


I really really wanted to like this. It had the vibes of something great. The concept was so unique. 

I did love that this was an ode to romance books. The last three chapters were so wonderful and totally 5 stars. I loved that Benji and Florence from The Dead Romantics made a cameo. I loved the book store and the cat. 

But…..

There was zero chemistry between the main characters. ZERO I have no idea why or how they fell in love. It makes no sense. Did I mention this all happened in 5 DAYS!?! 5. Days. 

I swear to the romance gods if I have to hear about his “minty green eyes” or “he smelled like cedar and black tea” one more time I might have lost it. So many times. Ugh. 

I absolutely loved The Seven Year Slip and The Dead Romantics but this was a total miss for me. I actually skim read parts ☹️ because I was bored. 

The magic worked for me. The romance/relationship/spice was absolutely not believable.
