This is a very wholesome book, it's truly very warm and fuzzy and nice. Some parts felt a little rushed and I would have loved to have a lot more of it, but I enjoyed what there was. I kind of saw the ending coming, but I still liked reading it and recommend it to anyone looking for a wholesome, witchy, romantic read.

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!
