If Adam Silvera & Sara Nisha Adams had a bookish love child, this would be it. It's got the sci-fi and magic realism of They Both Die at the End, and the found family, community coming together and importance of connections that The Reading List brings us. And this is exactly what drew me to this book, it's not often I read Romance, but as a fan of contemporary fiction and the paranormal element I was hooked. It's got all the tropes you could wish for, rivals to lovers, forced proximity and the dreaded one bed, there's somewhat of a love triangle. It terms of spice it's very mild bordering Lemon & Lime, which honestly felt perfect for Delphies character.
Speaking of which, I really loved the character development throughout this book, Delphie especially, she's witty, funny and sassy for someone who has spent her adult life as a social recluse. I especially loved her relationship with Mr. Yoon.
I really felt like all the characters in this book brought depth, and no one felt like a 'filler' character. Well ok, except maybe Eric he felt like a bit of an afterthought to wrap up Merritt's story.

Overall I surprised myself with how much I actually loved this book and how quickly I read it.
