📖 I received a gifted e-book ARC. The following is my honest review✍🏻

This Spells Love is a single POV friends-strangers-lovers romance about the consequences of mixing margaritas, forgetting spells and kissing your best friend!

In order to undo a spell gone wrong, Gemma needs the help of her best friend Dax to reenact it. Unfortunately, Dax in this timeline has no idea who she is, and she’s coming across more as a creepy stalker than an awesome best friend! 😹

I love the development of their relationship in this book, and the bond she has with her sister. I loved Gemma’s selflessness, too. Choosing this as my Book of the Month was the right call- it’s sweet, funny, emotional and fun.


A spell for you to forget your ex, but what else might you lose?

Reeling from a recent breakup, a young woman tries to heal heartbreak with a spell--only to wake up in an alternate reality where she's lost more than she wished for--in this witty, whimsical friends-to-lovers debut rom-com.

"Once lovers, now enemies, soon to be strangers with some memories, this love cleanse will rid you of your woes."
When Gemma Wilde gets dumped by her long-term boyfriend, she reacts the way any reasonable twenty-eight-year-old would: by getting drunk with her sister, kooky aunt, and best friend, Dax, and performing a love cleansing spell to forget all about her ex. Sure, it sounds a little crazy, but nothing else has worked, so why not try it? They follow the instructions, complete with an absolutely platonic kiss from Dax to seal the deal, and Gemma falls asleep in a margarita haze, thinking nothing of it.

But when she wakes up, she realizes that this silly spell has worked. Not only has she never dated her ex; her life looks completely different --and spoiler alert, the grass is not greener in the alternate reality. The worst part of all: Dax has no idea who she is.

To get back to her old life, Gemma must reverse the spell before the next full moon. That means she has one month to convince a now near-stranger, Dax, to become friends with her in order to get his kiss. But as Gemma carries out her plans, she finds herself falling for him, and begins to wonder whether she even wants to go back to the way things were...
