Alright so. This is odd from me but I loved everything in this book aside from the romance. I did not like the romance despite liking both the main characters. I didn't like how fast the romance was or how it wasn't really developed.  And maybe thats because

of the soulmate and being fated/cursed but I didnt enjoy it. I hate insta love. I also felt certain aspects were a little too lustful, especially in the beginning but again, guess you can blame the soulmates part.

But this book was great if we ignore the romance. I love all the characters, I adore the friendships and the found family aspect, I appreciated how diverse this was with a good amount of representation. I loved reading Ricki's journey and

seeing (not really actually visualizing but you get it) her dream come true along with building a community.

The plot aside from the romance was fun and interesting. Overall this was a nice, enjoyable read.

I’ve never read a book like this before and I’m so glad I did! Having magical realism elements in romance is deeply underrated and I need more stat!!! This was perhaps one of the most devastatingly romantic books I have ever read, and I will be thinking about it for a long time.

I must confess I almost gave up reading this one. The pace was so slow for me until the first 40%, and by 60% I was hooked. I saw some plot twists coming but still enjoyed them. I would say this is not for everyone
