0/5 spice - the characters kiss a couple of times, but nothing beyond that.
What I enjoyed: Hall is so delightfully pure, and the way his magic malfunctions makes for some really silly dilemmas. I especially appreciated how he handled eating at Cracker Barrel for the first time because same. There are some really laugh out loud unexpected moments that I can’t get out of my head. Without spoiling anything - one is a shock to the plot and the other is very bloody. These random moments break the book out of its sappy sweet Hallmark cliches to really provide a fun book. I appreciated Bettie’s character development, and I admired that she’s allowed to mature and grow up on her own in the end. (Of course, there’s a happy ending, but I won’t spoil how)
