Muy buen libro, incluye magia, romance, y una trama muy entretenida. Me gusta como va cambiando la relación de Tim y Elliot. Creo que los personajes secundarios no están muy bien desarrollados.

A gay romance in New Zealand where they get stuck together parenting an egg baby for a school assignment. That's what I knew going in and it sounded fantastic. It's also set in a magic school, which I didn't know, but would have only made it more appealing. As it is though, this is one book where magic is there only to facillitate the romance. They get stuck sharing a bed because the egg baby is magic and cries when they don't. They later get accidently magically bonded.

This is mostly fluffy and pretty cute and moves along at a pretty good pace. It's advertised as enemies to lovers, but it doesn't feel like it fits that trope at all. They're "enemies" for the first 20%-ish, but it's nothing more than the protagonist expressing that they don't like each other. There is nothing more explicit on-screen than touching and kissing and talking about things, which is definitely happening in the background.
