if you know me, you know how much i love second chance romance (and milfs!!!) and whiskey & wine had both, so it's safe to say i had a great time reading this book! tessa and lace's friends-to-lovers story is developed wonderfully and it's easy to see why they'd be so good together and how they fall in love throughout the course of the book. the only reason i didn't rate this higher is that i felt like lace went from her "3 months only" rule to basically proposing to tessa a bit too fast for my liking, and her commitment issues didn't feel fully fleshed out. but it's a very minor issue in the grand scheme of the book and i still loved it overall! i received an ARC from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

there were so many things about this book that i loved, but unfortunately, they were not enough to outweigh the issues i had with the book. i loved the characters, i loved the setting of a private school with a secret coven of witches, and i absolutely loved the magic system. but the pacing was way too fast, where it felt like skipping weeks and months in terms of story, when most of the book takes place throughout one academic semester. and the development of rose's relationships with the girls, particularly charlie, just felt way too fast. like they went from hating each other to being besties to being in love in two seconds. and even rose's character development was all over the place. one moment she's begging her parents to let her go home, then she's basically forgotten about them and doesn't care about seeing them again. and as for her "relationship" with nathan, she spends half the book fully convinced that it's mutual, that it wasn't abuse, until the girls tell her otherwise and all of a sudden, her mind changes just like that?
like i said, i really loved a lot of aspects of this book, but the bad unfortunately outweighed the good here. i received an advanced copy from netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
