4.5 stars, Kind of Cursed is a very fun, sweet book featuring Millie. Millie is now the guardian of her three younger siblings after the untimely death of their parents. While doing her best to keep the wheels of everyday life turning, Millie is also cursed. Determined not to enter into a relationship until her youngest brother comes of age- this becomes more of a challenge when Luc enters the scene. Having been commissioned by her parents before their death to remodel their kitchen, contractor Luc throws a wrench into her plan.

I was really impressed by all of the threads of story that this book managed to pull together. Oftentimes in a romance, incorporating children is really hard to do well. The siblings here all have distinct personalities, seem realistic, and are never conveniently forgotten about to advance the romance. I really liked the relationship between the siblings and Millie’s hilarious internal monologues. Weaving in Spanish was so well done in this novel and I also learned several new, inventive curses. The writing is very fast-paced and feels light and friendly. Overall, I recommend this if you’re looking for a contemporary romance about healing from loss and finding the courage to love again.
