Have you ever read a book that’s screams it was meant for you? Well, this book did just that!

The things I loved about it are personal reasons and what did I do? I pre ordered a physical copy!

Such a unique book, I loved the plot, and oh my god the characters were so amazing!! I definitely will be recommending it!!

Magical time shifting-sliding doors friends to lovers story! Gem and Dax have been nest friends for over 4 years. Now her relationship has ended, Gem along with her sister and aunt perform a crazy spell. Next thing Gem knows is she has woken up in an alternative world. But like with all choices in life, one small decision can impact another. Does she stay in her new life or go back to her old one?
Highly recommend for a light happy read. The book was well written and characters were all adorable. Definitely left me with feel good vibes. Perfect for a holiday or weekend read.

Who doesn't love a little bit of magic and romance?
Kiersten is my fav character. I love that we have some secondary characters with personality and story. I connected to that.
The flowers with their meanings is adorable. Such a small but sweet romantic little aspect.
The aunt makes me chuckle. Another spot on secondary character who you connect to and want more of.
It's an interesting take on how a redo works and how changing your path, can also change so many other peoples. If you get everything you ever wanted, where does that leave everyone else's path? What do you see from the previous life that you probably didn't see, because you were too caught up on your own issues.

I've really enjoyed this read, super fun, easy and quirky take on a redo story.

I would say this is 4.5 star read. I would have given a 5 star but there seemed to be a lot of letters missing from words that really bugged me. I'm sure this will be fixed before published though! Make sure you give it a go.

I loved this so much, it’s a fantastic read, so warm, cosy, just a great romcom. The story is fun, fast paced and addictive to read, I would think I’ll just read one chapter or so and I’d be there an hour later. It’s full of wonderful humour, the banter and snark, sass is just top class. If you are looking for a quirky, unique , cute read with some steam this one is definitely for you, it was for me

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

3/5

This book took me a while to get into mainly since, once you've read the blurb the first part seems very slow. I enjoyed the book but, I think at some point it felt as though there wasn't alot of plot or things were just very slow and uninteresting, whilst other parts were fast and great. However please be warned I do have adhd so this might just be mem

I think the reason why I felt this way main character was really selfish, whilst yes she showed character development near the end, the anger at the main character for me stayed alot and I found it hard to enjoy the book to it's potential.

Though I'd definitely give it a shot if you are thinking about reading it since it was still a good read though just not my cup of tea. :)

I really enjoyed this! The romance was delicious, and the hints of angst towards the end made my chest ache. Throughout the whole book I was rooting for Gemma to figure herself and the situation out, and the ending was an utter delight! The characters were loveable and well defined, and I have a particular soft spot for kooky Aunt Livi.

The only issue I have was that my ARC appeared to have some very odd editing - I haven't deducted a star for this because I appreciate it's not the authors fault, but in places the ARC was near unreadable. Every point where there was a double f in a word (i.e coffee, offered, off) the f's were missing. I also appeared to be missing the first few words of each chapter, but the missing f's in places made the book very difficult to read.

This was a wonderful read, Contemporary romance with a sprinkle of magic always hits the spot.
Friends to lovers, and the lingering question of "What if"...
The pace of the storytelling was good and was very easy to follow everything that was happening, covering more than just a romantic story, it also included changing the fates of others and how your choices can affect others.
The main characters of the book had character development, which helped move the story forward and the side characters helped bring the story back down to earth with their own struggles.
The "smut" was intimate and there was a little tension, which helped build the electric buzz between them..
By the end of the book I was questioning myself if I wanted Gem to go back to her old life because I didn't want her to lose everything she built with the alternate Dax, friends, family and her life plans, But things always manage to sort themselves out in the end.
💖Dax is perfect.
💖Gem grew on me.

But this moment was just the cutest to me -
❣️"Goodnight Dax McGuire", I call to him. "Goodnight, Gemma McGuire", he calls back. "Slip of the tongue?" He shrugs and smiles. "Something like that".❣️

⭐ 4/5
🌶️ 2.5/5

Looks, we all have that one ex we wish we could forget, but how far are we willing to go to do so?

This story gives off “50 first dates” vibes in the best way possible, and really has young u asking yourself “if I could go back and start again with a blank slate, what would I change? Would I change anything?”
Gemma and Dax are an adorable pair, and the moment she realise he’s forgotten her is just gut wrenching, but watching them fight to regain their relationship is just delightful. The “friends to strangers to lovers” dynamic is done perfectly. A great read!

This was such a fun book!

Imagine waking up one morning and the life as you knew it is no more--your fancy apartment is gone, your job is new and your best friend has no idea who you are. What do you do?

Gemma and her slightly kooky family decide to try out a magic spell in a mysterious book that appeared in her auntie's bookstore and just that happens. When Gemma wakes up the next morning her life has been turned upside down and she only has a month to put it right again. If you had to make a choice between your own happiness and that of the people you love, what do you choose?

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC.

Great little twist on a time travelling romcom and all those what if questions. Fast paced chapters and likeable characters with of course a HEA. Bit more spice than was expecting so some content warnings may be needed.

I unfortunately could not get into this book. But this might be for another type of reader, and wish the best for the writers.

3*

Thanks to NetGalley for an arc of this book.

I enjoyed the storyline of this book and loved that it was set in Hamilton, Ontario. I used to live in Toronto so this gave me some really nice nostalgia.

I also really loved Dax and the progression and diversity of his character in the timelines, as well as Gemma’s character arc from as she learns, grows, and understands herself better.

What I didn’t enjoy was some of the writing style. It felt a little juvenile and needed maybe just another fine tooth comb with an editor to tightening things up.

It was still an enjoyable read, great for fans of romance with a touch of magic.

This story is fantastic, a fresh spin on a classic tale of "What If"
The pace of the story was perfect, the right balance of will she stay or will she return.
Gemma was easy to get behind, I felt myself on the edge of my seat ready to shout "you need to go back Gemma!!!"
Daxon is an absolute dreamboat, definitely worth the jump from friends to lovers 🤩
I devoured this book in one sitting and would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a classic rom-com!

I LOVED this book. Such a nice, easy read, good story, likeable characters and just overall fun! I loved the premise of it and thought it was quite unique and different, and I really enjoyed how it ended, and how it covered so many themes like family, friends to lovers, self growth and so much more. Highly recommend!

First of all … I want an aunt Vivi ! 😂 secondly I adored this! Magic and romance are the ways to my heart ! This book shows us just how interconnected our stories are and how one little change in life can alter history as we know it. Such a cute read & thoroughly enjoyable. It made me think of my own life and the things I’d like to change but If I did how utterly different everything would be! Fab read, fully recommend…

I was accepted to read an advanced reader copy of This Spells Love by Kate Robb.
I really enjoyed this book. It was silly and fun in all the right places. However, at the same time there was balance with the serious notion that life can affected in so many ways by the smallest change in decision.
I think everyone has a cooky aunt like aunt like Aunt Livi (I sure do and I love her strange ways to bits). And I bet everyone including myself would love a crazy supportive sister like Kiersten.
It's the classic rom-com, friends to lovers book where the girl realises the most amazing man has been under her nose the whole time. It is a perfect feel good easy read with just the right touch of magic. I would definitely reccomend this book to others and can easily see it become a booktok sensation when it's released.
There are some typos throughout (mostly words missing the letter f) but I am sure they will be all fixed and sorted when the official published copy is released.

✨This Spells Love✨

_______________________________

This was a beautiful and well written novel and it's definitely one of my favourite reads this year💖

It follows two best friends, Gemma (FMC) and Dax (MMC) who have been friends for the past 4 years after meeting one night in a bar. Gemma has recently gotten out of a long term relationship and the thought of her ex-boyfriend brings her to tears anytime his name is mentioned. One night, after having enough of her emotions, she goes to her Aunt's house with her sister, she drinks one too many margaritas and she completes a spell to help her forget the memories of her ex-boyfriend🔮🪄

However, when she wakes up the next morning, she is living in an alternate version of her life and Dax has no clue who Gemma is😶

Due to Gemma being in a relationship for the length of her friendship with Dax, she feels she has only ever seen him as a friend -beside from the first night they met in the bar- although, in this alternate life, she has to go through the process of becoming his friend again but as she's doing that, she realises she is falling in love with her best friend🏩

I just can't stress enough how much I loved this book and the story was so interesting, I was hooked from the moment I started it🩷🌺

The characters experience their own personal development and the side characters are perfect. I loved the strong relationship between Gemma and her sister and aunt and it was just lovely to read💖

✨'I love him because I've always loved him, but I'm also falling for him at the exact same time'.

✨'The universe could make us live a thousand different lifetimes and we'll always find a way to be there for each other'.

✨'This very moment, here, might be the happiest of my entire life. And in my other one, it never would have happened'.

✨"Goodnight Dax McGuire", I call to him. "Goodnight, Gemma McGuire", he calls back. "Slip of the tongue?" He shrugs and smiles. "Something like that".

Honestly, this book is perfection💖💖

It has:

👫Friends to lovers
🔮Magic spells and eccentric aunts
🪄Alternate universe
🍩Donuts (need I say more)
☕Coffee enthusiasts
🌶️Angst and so much sexual tension
👯Strong sister relationship
🎭Plenty of jokes
💭Following their dreams
☔A beautiful caught in the rain moment

Thank you Netgalley for my ARC in exchange for an honest review💖🌼💕🏵️. This book is due to be released 07.12.2023.

4.5 stars.

First off thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for giving me the chance to read this ARC.

Honestly, this is up there with some of the best things I've read this year. I loved the concept, I'm sure we all have what ifs from our pasts and this finds a way to explore them.
Gemma and Daxon are perfect characters and I loved how they were written and how their relationship with each other and the other characters in the book grew.
I had to take away half a star as in the first half of the book I got so fed up with the I'm-going-to-I'm-not-going-to every five mins but that is purely my opinion and if I look at it from someone else's point of view I can see that it does help the plot and makes sense in the build up. It's just one of those things I can't deal with in books for that long.
The spice in this book is IMMACULATE. So well written and enough of it!
I would 100% recommend this to anyone that likes a spicey romance book with a hint of magic.

Gemma has just broken up with her boyfriend of four years, and on a drunken night performs a spell to "cleanse" herself of him. Waking up the next day, she is in an alternate timeline where she never dated her ex - but it seems he had more of an impact on her life than she had ever realised ...

This is such a clever story about the ripple effect we have on each others lives, and how the smallest of things can drastically change everything. I loved every minute - especially the romance, which was sexy and fun and felt genuine. I'll be needing a Dax of my own, please!
