I desperately wanted to love this book. I was prepared to be head over heels, but I found it okay. The flowers on the front cover, the vibes of a royal wedding, magic that could be sewn into clothing? All of that screamed spring to me and so I made it my first spring read of the year. I also paid full price because I loved Saft's other work.

Here's the deal: I didn't feel connected with any of the characters (except for maybe Rosa and Sinclaire) and I wasn't buying the romance. The whole reason I picked up this book was for the enemies to lovers and there wasn't enough of that. The beginning held potential because he was snarky and perfect at first, but then the romance started to build and I lost interest.

While I actively read with audiobooks, I don't like having to rely on them to finish a book.
