This book was really fun and perfect for the season. I loved the magic elements and the small town environment was giving very much Gilmore Girls, along with the relationships between the female characters, those were very GG coded as well. I thought the romance was cute and I liked the dynamic between Rhys and Vivi but I do think the reason for their breakup is dumb, especially because it never comes back again the way you would expect, so it makes the thread feel unfinished. Additionally, I found the ending to be kind of abrupt.
