Hopelessly Teavoted: A Novel by Audrey Goldberg Ruoff

4.0

---

This one was really cute and I had a lot of fun!

I loved all the characters, and the world was super interesting.

I loved all the little Addams Family nods and touches. Right down to the love between Morticia and Gomez... and the high-stakes pranks between Prissy and Az.

I also really enjoyed the themes of finding "home". It came up quite a few times with Vicky and how she always felt like she had a home with the Harts. And then both Vicky and Az learned what it was to find a home in each other. Loved it!

There were some parts of this book that I found confusing. I think it might have been a mix of my brain not paying attention from being tired and some things not being explained as well as they should.

I really enjoyed the "I touch her and I die" dynamic. I don't know that I've read that many (if any at all) like that. I will say at times, it did feel like we were going in circles with emotions. Instead of inspiring yearning, we just got repeated thoughts that I swore were already addressed.

All in all a fun time. Great for the Halloween season!


Thank you to NetGalley for providing me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
