*a Book Camp 2023 read*
Ahhh here we have another comfy & witchy romance read. I'm intrigued to see if Tori Anne Martin will have more books set within this world/witchy community because it is a perfect mix between the mundane world and covens since witches are widely accepted and their services sought after. This book starts off strong with the fake-dating trope....with one party clearly interested in it being real, and I feel the relationship develops rather organically even with the disaster of a love potion at play. The only thing that really hurt my enjoyment of the book is that these is not only miscommunication but basically non-communication about the big important topic of the love potion itself and that made me want to shake our main character the whole way. This ended up impeding how the plot & relationship developed in a bad way. Overall this was a sweet and cozy read and an interesting play on fake dating but I just wanted more from the characters since the setting/atmosphere/magic system were all well thought out.
