seriously, there is nothing quite like the jovial, cheeky, and altogether magical atmosphere of an India Holton book!
magic birds, marketing ploys, the tease of tenure, and enough affection to melt even the grinch's heart... this was such a fun, cozy romp 😍 🎉 Beth and Devon were so sweet; their banter and rapport were so addictive and precious, I couldn't help but root for them. I really loved the fact that they were forced together so early in the story and that we got to see them work together, escaping harrowing situations and taking full advantage of "rooms of beds," throwing propriety out the window in the name of true love. I also enjoyed the absolutely ridiculous nature of the side characters (dear god, let me never cross paths with anyone remotely similar to Hippolyta) and the myriad of magical birds our heroes had to endure. Good on the British tourism board for coming up with such an outrageous scheme to raise enrollment lol; if it were me, I would've seriously considered a career switch...
while I didn't love the ending (there is such a thing as too happy an ending), I'm glad for the caladrius and thankful our couple can now stop living in sin 🤣🤣
solid 4 out of 5 stars, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
