Not Your Crush's Cauldron by April Asher

3.0

Not your crushes cauldron was a pretty good story. I really enjoyed Olive and her siblings and her best friend. I thought the relationship was really special and important to have and to show different ways that they played into one another and helped add funny banter and make fun situations happen. I thought that Bax why a fun male lead. He was very broody, but also had a super big soft spot for Olive and it made you smile. Especially, when he had convinced himself to follow through with her crazy ideas and you know that he was truly doing it out of his deepening feelings for her, and it made you as a reader just want them to be so happy together. I found that while Bax and Olive were working together through her checklist that they both helped each other gain a better understanding of themselves as people and what they can do and how they can be seen to others and how important that is to show ones true self and how important that is.

The reason I am rating it how I am is because I wasn’t very motivated to read the story. I was very easily sidetracked away from the book each time I started to read it. It didn’t really keep my attention like I expected it to and that is the main reason of why it’s not getting anything higher than what it is. The overall story itself is good, but just lacked being able to hold on to my attention for a long period of time.
