Forced proximity…werewolves and vampire succubi and other mystical creatures…a cute small town in USA during Fall…a super sweet and endearing MC werewolf that is absolutely my new book boyfriend I mean what more could I ask for?!
I loved how relatable Ben was as an MC, he struggles with anxiety, rumination, and panic attacks and it’s not portrayed as weakness but as a means of how much he cares for others. That spoke to me so much as someone who struggled with similar mental health issues. I thought that side of his character was portrayed so well. And then I just love Eleanor with him, she is the complete opposite of him and they balance each other out so well. Their interactions were the most fun and I really loved the progression of their love story. And ohmygoodness do I want to live in Glimmer Falls, it seemed like the perfect world to be in and I was happily jealous of how close everyone was. If adulthood could be just like this, where all your friends lived in the same town (forever) and your days and nights were spent watching movies, going on adventures, and getting silly drunk here and there it’d be perfect. Made me miss college and ew how old that makes me sound.
Lowkey think like 100 pages could’ve been cut just because the second act of the book kind of felt drawn out at times and I found myself looking to read other things more in between. But overall I like the author’s cutesy, cheesy at times, funny, and heartfelt writing style. It was a nice cozy read and the spice level was well-balanced throughout 🤌🏾. I’ll have to check out her other two books.
