A cozy contemporary romance set in a magical/urban fantasy backdrop. Found family! Dramatic gay grandparent! A broody librarian! The characters in this are an absolute delight and I love the magical world and how everything was spun together.

Loved the characters and enjoyed the story! I did guess the twist pretty early on, but I like how it all played out. I also wish there had been a bit more on page interaction between Mika and Jamie. Parts felt like they spent time together and grew, but there were sections we were told they spent time together off page so it felt a little more sudden. 

Anyways, very cozy and cute, and love the found family!
