A little over halfway through this, I messaged my best friend and told her I already knew this book was going to become my personality. The charm and love poured into each of these characters leapt off the page and straight into my heart.

It didn't start out that way. For the first four chapters, I wasn't sure what to expect and was still trying to "get" the story. But in fairness, that tends to be a common theme for me and fantasy worlds, so I forged ahead. By the end, any minor confusion had been alleviated, any annoyance (if it ever existed) - forgotten.

Mercy and Hart are hate-to-lover perfection, quintessential grump and sunshine. The homage to You've Got Mail was ::chef's kiss::, but the story clearly became its own story over the course of their relationship. Add in a fantastic side character in Duckers, great family drama at Birdsall & Son, and all of the fantastical elements, and you have my version of book catnip.

This book had me groaning, sobbing, and laughing in near equal measure. I already can't wait to get back to Eternity!
