Bouncing between a 2.5-3 star read.
A cute, barely witchy, romcom that couldve been much shorter. Truly might just be a "me thing".

It had the fake dating (which I usually like) and miscommunication (not so like) tropes. Though I was hoping for more whimsy and less whiny. The characters were all very much stuck in high school, except no they weren't. They were adults.
I feel like I had a hate-love-hate relationship with, the ever mature, Trevor (intentional?). He had some of my favorite one-liners AND the worst, also how was this manchild running any kind of business? The witchy bit was more New Age Hippy running a flower shop than anything. However I did enjoy the chapter headers with a nod to various flowers. I thought the love story was wrapping up nicely until the 3rd (or was it the 4th?!) act twist. I was kinda over the story by that point, yet I trudged forward and made it to the actual wrapping.
Overall, it was cute, like just cute, fine, good. Maybe I was in a mood? I dunno, I might give Hogle another try.

Thanks to Penguin Group Putnam and NetGalley for the eARC!
