Every one hundred years in the town of Moon Ridge, the lady of the town descends to walk amongst them. This year, a masquerade to celebrate is being thrown at Onny’s house. Along with her friends Ash and True, all of them will have a brush with magic and the lady of Moon Ridge. Can all three friends find what they’re looking for before the clock strikes midnight? 

Three Kisses, One Midnight is such a joyful, warm love letter of a book. It’s perfect for the people who love fall best of all the seasons and who seek a community like the one on Gilmore Girls. Needless to say, I loved it!! All three of the characters felt complex and they went on independent journeys while remaining connected. If I had to pick, my favorite character was Onny, who has Roshani Chokshi’s trademark humor. I truly loved all the characters though and they all brought something special to the story. I also loved the inhabitants of the town, especially the mayor and his husband who epitomize the sunshine and grump trope. And of course, Igor the cat! 

Moon Ridge is a beautiful escape for dreamers, romance lovers, and believers in magic. It is the perfect book for fall and spooky season! If you’ve ever wanted to live in an idyllic town like Stars Hollow but with a magical twist- you’ll love Three Kisses, One Midnight. 

Thank you so much to Roshani Chokshi, Evelyn Skye, Sandhya Menon, Wednesday Books and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
