Wow!! Wow wow wow!! I laughed out loud a lot, I swooned, and I cried. Literally weeping. I probably looked like such a weirdo on my morning walks listening to this. 

This was such a funny and touching and magical story!! Coal & Hex are relationship goals!!

I loved the magic, I loved the personal growth and the problems, personally and professionally, the characters had to work through.  

At its core this is a story about coming of age, learning about yourself, being a kid of divorce, uncertainty, mistakes, sibling love and of course Falling in Love. 

This book takes a hard look at what makes a holiday a holiday and what’s truly important too. And how we deal with grief. 

This was such a warm hug of read. I was able to listen to the Audiobook through NetGalley as an ARC and oh my gods it was wonderful. The Narrator did an amazing job of bringing this story to life. 

The spice was delicious and also wow the tension created without ever saying the words c*ck or d*ck. Very impressive. I was totally swooning over these two. 

I also very much loved the side characters, Chris and Iris. They were so funny and such amazing people too!

I cannot wait for Chris’s story in book two!! 

This is the perfect read for your Fall and Winter TBR! 

Also can we have huge high fives for disaster bisexuals everywhere!!!! 💕💕
