A cute YA romance with magic and themes of gentrification, class, family, and belonging.

I loved how class, wealth, magic, and steteotypes were interwoven to create this unique story.

I also enjoyed Caydens growth and Khys kindness and patience with her. He is a big cinnamon roll!!

Thank you to the publishers and Netgalley for the digital ARC in exchange for my honest review!

This was a delightful YA contemporary romance. It has paranormal elements (witches/covens) but I wouldn’t say it’s a paranormal romance. The premise and set up is easy to follow and has one of my favorite tropes, which is fake dating! The concept of her family owning a dog rescue/bakery is adorable. The stakes are low, the characters are funny and it’s a nice and easy story to follow!

This was so delightful! I was giddily grinning all through the last few chapters. I loved Cayden, her narration was hilarious, and she & Khy were soooo adorable! I also really enjoyed Cayden’s family dynamics, and the storyline with her grandparents was especially heartwarming. Plus, the girl friend group of Cayden, Naomi, and Becca was a surprising highlight! I just loved so much of this: the evolving attitudes about the covens, the family storylines, the messages about gentrification, and the swoon-worthy romance. I’ve really enjoyed all of Nia Davenport’s books so far so she’s definitely an author I’ll continue to return to!
