This Spells Love by Kate Robb
4.0
Thanks to Random House Publishing Group and NetGalley for the advance copy.
After breaking up with her boyfriend, Gemma gets drunk with her sister, aunt, and best friend Dax. As the margaritas keep coming, they decide it would be a great idea to perform a love-cleansing spell to erase Gemma’s ex from her memory. The next morning she wakes up to a life she doesn’t recognize. As she navigates her new life, and tries to figure out how to reverse the spell, she finds that she loves many of the decisions she made in this universe and starts to love her new life (and fall for Dax in the process).
These time loop/fresh start romances are everywhere this winter and I am loving them! This was an incredible debut that I flew through! Gemma was so relatable with her fear of the unknown and taking risks (hi, it's me!) and Dax and her family were the perfect support system as she navigated this parallel universe. I loved how she was able to see the happiness she found in the universe where she did take the risks and how it inspired her to be brave and really go for what she wanted. The side characters in this story really made it special, Gemma’s bond with her aunt and sister were incredible and added so much magic to the story. But most importantly, I LOVED Gemma and Dax together. Their unique bond, their chemistry, the way they showed up for each other - they are truly relationship goals. This book is straight up magic and it is hard to believe this is Kate Robb’s debut. I can’t wait to read more from her!
