Alchemy of Secrets by Stephanie Garber
3.0

enjoyable; whimsy feeling magical realism, great writing. however! I felt a bit let down especially because all the reviews have been raving around it. 

kind of felt like it was trying to be too many things at once, the FMC kept making silly decisions, a lot felt unanswered, and why is the FMC insta-loving on not one, but two separate guys when there were several moments that she thought these guys wanted her dead (and/or kidnapped her, or lied to her etc). like, girlfriend, I get that they're hot but 🤔

anyways, it was still enjoyable and it was an easy read but I'm sad to say it didn't hit the spot for me! 

thanks heaps Hachette Australia for sending me the beautiful proof copy 🫶🏼
