It's cute. It's naive. It needs an editor. But it's sweet and enjoyable.

Truly a delight from cover to cover. It's tender and kind. The magic terminology is definitely a bit overwhelming at first but you get used to it. Can't wait for the audio to come out so I can listen to it next time around. Basically this book is about queer soulmates who have varying degrees of fame AND magic. I really love golden retriever jock/prickly musician pairings so if you do too, please give this a shot!
Thank you to NetGalley for a preview copy of the ebook in exchange for an honest review.

Fluffly, soft and sweet from start to finish!
The Magic Between is quite a special book. Magic in its various manifestations is a big part of it, but the story doesn't revolve around magic, it actually gives you the feeling that the fantasy element is the cherry on top. Which is quite a feat!
It's a fluffy love story between famous pop-star AB Cerise and college-hockey prodigy goalkeeper Matthew Hellman-Levoie. The story is heavily character-driven, it almost reads like high-quality fanfic at some points (this is a compliment, not a criticism!) and deals with topics like how the media and the fandoms treat celebrities, homophobia in professional sports, shielding yourself from having your life exposed to the whole world, self-acceptance and self-denial, enthusiasm, butterflies in your stomach, loyal friends!
Matthew and AB are very different personalities but their chemistry is off the charts. Their opposite magic is what makes them bump into each other, but it's their heart driving them from there.
The supporting characters are great, the illustrations are amazing, the inclusion of twitter threads does wonders to depict fandoms and gossip, the group chats are hilarious, and of course the main couple is adorable!
A fresh and heartwarming romance story for everyone!

The writing and world building was so confusing at times and some parts felt a little...anticlimactic which left me a little disappointed. But so much bi rep I love it!!!
