I was genuinely surprised.

I honestly thought this would be a far to cliche, cheesy, cringe fest romance (which it was in a way), but I was surprised.

I enjoyed this a lot. Now Destiny towards the end kinda got on my nerves, but I really liked this book.

And it was surprising. Usually when I read YA contemporaries, their either trash or OK. I rarely get a fun, cute, memorable, and enjoyable contemporary. And this book was really short too so it was like a 2 1/2 hour read.

And I really liked the characters, even though her dad dads rule was ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Imagine being a high school Junior and being forbidden to date ANYONE, never having a first kiss, and forced to look at hot, sweaty, guys without shirts for 2-4 hours. That would suck.

Now I did cringe (A lot) during this book, hence why the 4 stars, but it was still funny and sweet enough for me to enjoy.

(Another shit review from yours truly -Abi)

(PS: That should be my Outro for every review of mine now)

(PPS: You know what, it’s going to be)

Ok I’ll go now. Bye

RATING: Cover - 5 stars, Writing - 4 stars, Plot - 4 stars, Characters - 5 stars, Pacing - 5 stars, Enjoyment - 4 stars, OVERALL RATING - ⭐️4⭐️ STARS

WHAT I LIKED

I really liked the characters in this book. Lou was so fun to read about, and so fucking funny. Her I-really-don’t-give-a-fuck-attitude is so hilarious. I loved reading in Reid’s POV, and I think that he could be such a cutie. (Even though he was a badass).

I enjoyed our side characters, and the plot twists ensued. The hate to love romance was fun, and I haven’t read one of those for a very long time.

The plot line was good, and the feud between the witches and the church was very believable.

I also liked how how this book gave us a different take on witches.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE

The way this book discriminated women was disgusting and I really didn’t enjoy it.

I also think that the world building was shitty and it had more potential than given.

OVERALL THOUGH, GREAT BOOK

- Another shitty review from yours truly, Abi

- Also low key want the 2nd book like right now

- And I’m reading Wilder Girls right now and I’m kinda despising it ngl

- I’m also jumping for joy because ‘The Queen of Nothing’ is coming out this month
