this book is my favorite of the three! the gritty details of iris’ and stevie’s inner struggles had me so immersed that I only came up for the air of recognizing the plot structure during the text’s meta jokes about the same things in iris’ book! the ending arc looked a bit rushed, but I assume that was for length reasons. I still had a fantastic time reading about all of these friends.

4.4 I love this cast of an all queer coven! I think the sequel energy was very prominent, but it was still a good time. this series has a lot more going on than a typical rom com, so it feels well rounded :)
