I was hooked from the first chapter of this book. I devoured this book. I’m a huge fan of Adrienne Young’s other books, but this one may just be my favorite. It’s just the peak of creativity; I’ve never read anything like it. I’m not a huge fan of mystery type books, but the blend of magical realism and dash of romance is what makes this book stand out from the rest. It’s genuinely a book I would reread again, which is not something I say (or rather write) lightly. I love the author’s attention and exploration of grief throughout the book. I highly recommend if you like magical realism, slow burn romance, second chance romance (but in a more creative way than your typical second chance romance), fake dating, family curses/secrets, and strong female characters.

Thank you, Net Galley, and Random House Publishing Group, for sending me an arc of this phenomenal book in exchange for an honest review. Thank You, Adrienne Young for continuing to impress me by your already elite writing skills.
