The Magic Between by Stephanie Hoyt
5.0
Fluffly, soft and sweet from start to finish!
The Magic Between is quite a special book. Magic in its various manifestations is a big part of it, but the story doesn't revolve around magic, it actually gives you the feeling that the fantasy element is the cherry on top. Which is quite a feat!
It's a fluffy love story between famous pop-star AB Cerise and college-hockey prodigy goalkeeper Matthew Hellman-Levoie. The story is heavily character-driven, it almost reads like high-quality fanfic at some points (this is a compliment, not a criticism!) and deals with topics like how the media and the fandoms treat celebrities, homophobia in professional sports, shielding yourself from having your life exposed to the whole world, self-acceptance and self-denial, enthusiasm, butterflies in your stomach, loyal friends!
Matthew and AB are very different personalities but their chemistry is off the charts. Their opposite magic is what makes them bump into each other, but it's their heart driving them from there.
The supporting characters are great, the illustrations are amazing, the inclusion of twitter threads does wonders to depict fandoms and gossip, the group chats are hilarious, and of course the main couple is adorable!
A fresh and heartwarming romance story for everyone!
