Loved the fall vibes, the generous sprinkling of magic throughout, the sense of humour, the banter between the MCs, the secondary characters.
My only complaint is that the initial central plot point felt like it took the back seat to the relationship once that started rolling along. I’d have liked a better balance. Perhaps the book needed to be a bit longer? The ending felt rushed.
Good October-y romantic fun. I’d happily read it again!

THE YEARNING UGHHH. This book was so so so good??? Erin Sterling (alternatively Rachel Hawkins) has written some FAB books and this one seems to fit her aesthetic the most. I've primarily read her YA romances and idk something about this book just made it seem like the author was much more at home with the age, characters, and world building.
I loved the second chance romance. The initial breakup wasn't too unreasonable or insignificant to the rekindling of the romance. I loved how drawn out the mutual pining was even WHILE they were hooking up.
I thoroughly loved the small town witch lore that was cultivated. I kept thinking of The Raven Boys books but like adult and *better*. I also really really loved the delicate balance between character driven and conflict driven. It kept the pacing of the book nice and brusque. There was no place for me to get bored which explains why I finished this in a day.
So so so good and I can't wait for what looks to be a sapphic companion heheheheh
