This Spells Love by Kate Robb
2.0

The premise of this romance was intriguing: A spell thrusts a heartbroken Gemma into a new timeline where she has never met her ex. Unfortunately, though, in this new timeline, her best friend Dax doesn't know who she is either. And that seems to bother her more than the ex situation.

I really hoped this one would live up the fun premise, but it just didn't work for me. Gemma was funny and endearing enough and the banter with her sister was enjoyable.. But I didn't get much of a spark from her and Dax. Maybe it's because we didn't get his POV, but their connection wasn't strong enoug before the spell for me to stay invested in their relationship growing in the new timeline. I was also a bit confused about the kooky aunt. She seemed to be the "witch" casting the spells but didn't seem too knowledgeable about what happened to her niece.

All in all, I didn't connect strongly with Gemma and wasn't invested in the relationship with her and Dax. I love the friends to lovers trop, but this one just didn't work for me.
