Eh, it was ok. The cover is cute, but a bit misguiding. The romance was weird, creepy, and waaay to fast.

There are major editorial errors and character inconsistencies that someone should have caught in the editing process. The plot was engaging towards the end but the beginning of the book is way too slow I almost did not finish the book many many times (it took months to finish). I did get teary eyed at the end because I have my own challenges in the relationship with my mother and that is a major theme of this book. I think it was a good idea and had a fun teen romance but could have been better developed.

I swear, no one does it like Jenna Evans Welch. This book was of course sweet and romantic, but so layered and complex, as well. It made me laugh and cry and was just so well written. I absolutely adored Willow and Mason (maybe my new favorite couple?) and loved getting to see how they started to lean on one another. This book also made me realize I guess I missed a lot of Salem because it was much more than just one weird run down mall and a bad museum as it turns out!

First off I would like to start off by thanking (insert publisher here) for gifting me the advance reader copy of this beautiful book! (I already have a pre order autographed copy on its way once it releases!)
Jenna does it again! If you’ve read her Love & series this is a must for you!
Jenna always just knows how to write in a way that even though it’s a YA book it feels like anyone can read this young or old. She also always makes me feel like I’m there in these places she describes in her stories, like I’ve been there. She knows how to paint a picture in the readers head of setting and atmosphere.
Jenna is super good at making her stories feel relatable. A lot of the things the character Willow go through I have been through and experienced myself. The good and the bad. I can definitely relate to Willows character.
I wasn’t sure how I felt at first about the back and forth story telling of Willow then Mason but as the story progressed i see that it was necessary and like the back and forth a lot even if some times it felt it dragged the story our some times.
What a truly magical whimsical book and it will be one that I cherish for all time!
As I said at the beginning Jenna does it again! Please go read this magical book it has everything you need in book. I didn’t want to give too much away I hate spoilers!
I hope you enjoyed my little review and if you are in love with her other books and want this newest release you can preorder it now or get it once it releases on 9/27/22! It won’t disappoint!

Who approved the pronunciation KOH-ven? Fine cutesy teen romance. Could have leaned into lore a bit more.

5 STARS OMG YES
This is the cutest book I've ever read. I felt 15 years old again, dreaming about my future and the things that I probably wouldn't have, the first love, the first experience out of my comfort zone. It was an amazing reading, full of magic and family drama. Besides being a cute book, it was a funny book, in a lot of chapters I laughed a lot.
This book is everything we are asking for and didn't know.
