This Spells Love
by Kate Robb
Kate Robb’s charming debut This Spells Love that will make you laugh, smile, and feel overall enjoyment.
After suffering through a rough breakup with her boyfriend, Gemma gets drunk with her sister, her wacky aunt, and her best friend Dax. After one too many margaritas, they decide to perform a love-cleansing spell, which promises to Gemma’s ex from her memory. However, when Gemma wakes up the next morning, she finds herself in an alternative universe.
In this alternate timeline, there is no record of Gemma dating her ex, but that’s not the only thing that is different. Instead of working her so-so job that pays the bills and provides okay health insurance, she now runs her own business providing skin products. This has been a dream of hers for years, but due to her ex always questioning and doubting her, she never found the courage to go through with it.
She wakes up in a different bed than the one she fell asleep in. Since she never met her ex in this timeline, Gemma is now the girl that hooks up with random men. I was honestly expecting to see more of this random man that she hooked up with and woke up in his bed, but it was a throwaway point in the book. Gemma no longer lives in her condo and instead lives in a basement apartment. I guess??
But also, in this timeline, Gemma and Dax are not friends. Turns out that she and Dax originally became friends the night that she hooked up with her ex. And since this is now a timeline where they never got together, her and Dax never hit it off and became friends.
That doesn’t stop Gemma from trying to pursue a friendship with this new version of Dax. Soon their friendship blossoms into a romantic relationship. And Gemma is 100% that she doesn’t want to go back to her old life.
But then a lady from her aunt’s book club notices that she’s “not from this world” and warns her about messing with the ties of the universe. Gemma writes her off as just another of her aunt’s crazy friends and ignores her warnings. And then something devastating happens.
Now Gemma is torn between staying in the universe where she has her own business that is about to become part of a bigger franchise and her and Dax are madly in love, or back to her old life with her okay job and her and Dax are just friends.
I really enjoyed this book, though there were still some moments that were just left unsaid. Like the random man when she first wakes up. I was honestly expecting him to be her boyfriend or daily hookup that would later enter the picture. And obviously the spell didn’t work because she still remembered everything about her ex.
This was my December BOTM. You can get the book <a href="https://bookofthemonth.com/all-books/this-spells-love-1495?referCode=mfbg48ep3z">here</a>.
