The Serendipity by Emma St. Clair
3.0
I really hope I can find time to read every single book in this series! I love magical realism! In this one, a closet in a historic building (The Serendipity) teleports Willa to the apartment of the grumpy new building owner. I wish the magic was incorporated more into the rest of the story, but it definitely made for a funny and whimsical meet-cute!
I really enjoyed the social anxiety and agoraphobia representation. I could connect in different ways to both Willa and Archer, and I loved how they were just genuinely there for each other. The way they accepted and validated each other's feelings and fears was exactly what you'd hope for.
The romance just lacked a believable buildup and spark for me, which made the I love yous feel a bit rushed. But I will say, the kisses were fantastic! Overall, it was a quick and fun read. Emma's writing is so easy to binge! I'm looking forward to seeing how magic is incorporated into the other stories!
