SQUEE I am certifiably obsessed with Sarah Hogle and this book and Romina and Alex and everything about them. I was smiling throughout most of this wonderful, wonderful book, racing through the pages while wishing it would never end. I truly can’t get enough of the way Hogle writes characters and banter, it makes me smile uncontrollably. I can’t wait to return to Moonville for the rest of the sisters’ love stories, because I’m already in love!

There are two main things I didn't like about this book: the witchcraft and the graphic sexual content. I didn't expect the latter because none of the author's other books have that. I do like the second-chance trope, and I liked the characters. Overall though, I did not enjoy this.

This quote is excellent though:
"Romina, I would've picked up the sun with my bare hands and moved it if you didn't like the position of your shadow."
