Just Like Magic by Sarah Hogle
4.0

Nothing about this should have worked for me - from the selfish, self-sabotaging heroine to the purely sunshine hero - but here I am, full body sobbing two hours past my bedtime on a Sunday over a Christmas novel I read getting my first sunburn of the year. This book is laugh-out-loud funny and break-your-heart emotional and while I'm not sure I'd want Hall as a book boyfriend, I think we could all use a little more of him in our everyday lives.

Thank you Penguin and NetGalley for the ARC!
