A majority of the book I did like. The premise of curing an ex-boyfriend was funny. Vivi and Rhy figuring out how to life the curse was also a good time. Everything kind of wrapped up quicker than it should have. It’s like in ten pages, they suddenly figured out how to lift the curse and boom, that’s it. Cue the credits.

The book should have been a little longer with more detail. I will not be continuing the series, unfortunately.

 “Never mix vodka and witchcraft”

I found this book in a local bookstore, and it seemed like something that I would like. I have seen it around on social media, and seem like a lighthearted romance involving witches. Do I like romance? Yes. Do I like witches? Absolutely!

Look, this isn't a bad book, in any way. But there is something about second-chances books that I can't seem to like. I think that the only book of this kind that I absolutely love is Persuasion, by Austen. The characters are interesting and funny at times, the book has a good structure, and the story is interesting enough, but, to me, it was just "meh". However, I think that this is more of me problem than a book problem. Therefore, I'm giving it a 3.5 stars rating (but I'm being a bit generous). I can also say that this has fall vibes all over, so if you like romances with fall vibes, maybe give this one a chance. 

Now, the question is: will I read The Kiss Curse? Yes, probably. It seems like an enemies-to-lovers romance and that's my favorite kind of romance.

This was really cute. I wasn’t sure how much I was going to enjoy a modern witchy love story, as I tend to go for more high fantasy type worlds, but this was really enjoyable. A quick read with a bit of spice. The plot did move really slow at some points and really fast at others, but overall - a good little comfort read. I kept thinking about how it would make a great movie.

Witchy adorableness! This is a cute second chance romance with just a dash of paranormalcy to make it interesting. I loved how clearly Vivienne and Rhys loved each other, and that the drama came not from good ol' miscommunication, but from much more mature themes; in fact, the way they both went about their second chance -- "I'm a grown adult, why shouldn't I get to sleep with this person I find attractive?" -- was so refreshing. No angst, just fun, paranormal drama to up the stakes. And I loved the cozy, Gilmore Girls-esque town (they had a Founder's Day, for pete's sake -- though sans punch) that became the background. Perhaps this book would be even better around Halloween, but I can firmly say witches are good all year around.

The plot was interesting enough, but it would've been more interesting had the romance been fit into the book better. I couldn't really feel any actual chemistry between the romantic leads and the resolution kind of felt forced, in my opinion. It felt like the story should've been a trilogy, and the romantic resolution should've been somewhere in the third book but not the very end. The world the author built would've suited a multi-book arc just fine. In fact, it may actually warrant a multi-book story because it is an explorable contemporary fantasy world. Make of that what you will.
