This story is so cute so far! I love the idea of a magic user who just controls pastries 😭

Gernology finished reading and wrote a review...
I am a firm believer that a book being a simple romance does not excuse bad writing and this book sadly has a lot of that. There are so many plot holes that just make no sense and many more plot devices that just fall apart if you think of them for even a second.
The concept of all three religious holidays happening at the same time has so much potential but it felt like the authors wanted everything to be so picturesque that so many things just got glazed over or were more romanticized than necessary. The characters were enjoyable but we never really go into depth with many of them except for an exposition that never really provide any development.
If you dont know actors well you would have to paused quite a bit to search a lot of them because they never really describe anything, just tell you exactly what to picture, all while never really setting a scene.
I really wanted to like this more since the concept was so interesting but this book seriously needed to go through a few more rounds of editing and peer review before it was ready.
