This was a cute book. I loved Oz, the cinnamon roll demon. I would have liked for the timeline to have been stretched out a bit as I find falling in love to the point that you'll give up everything to be together in the span of about 2 weeks (I think?) to be unbelievable. The

third-act breakup

, while annoying, was understandable as it fit with the characterization. I think

Mariel

should have apologized more at the end. I appreciated Mariel's character journey dealing with her narcissistic mother and finding her own sense of self worth after years of being told she wasn't good enough.

I was not a fan of the female protagonist being written as "not capable." I was my leads to be capable and strong, able to handle themselves and their power.

This was cute. Quick, easy read. This felt more urban fantasy than anything. Demon was basically like a human with horns.

* Mild grumpy/sunshine (demon wasn't that grumpy)
* Accidental demon summoning (love that)
* Green witch
* Learning to establish firm boundaries and speak up for yourself
* Emotions are exhausting
* Learning to love life
* Dealing with shitty family
* Very supportive ride or die friends
* Mild fake dating (if you love this trope because of people genuinely pretending/practicing to be a couple, that doesn't happen much here)

Listened to the audiobook and the narration was decent. Ideally I would have loved a different narrator for the demon so it could have a male voice but I got used to the female narrator's fake dude voice pretty quickly.

Toxic relationship is with family, not the romantic interest

I've tried countless times to get into this genre of light-fantasy romance novels, (like The Ex-Hex, The very secret society of witches etc.) but I usually struggle with them. 

This one was a happy exception. I loved the characters, the writing was great and I found some moments hilarious. The magical elements didn't overshadow the romance, but were still a huge part of the plot. Overall, a really enjoyable read.
