YA magical romance with a little mystery sprinkled in. A bit of a found family feel as well, although biological family ties were also strong.

Sage and Ximena are ex-best friends but are thrown together to solve the mystery of who stole from the store where they work and put a spell on a friend of theirs.

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. Watch for Brewed With Love to come out January, 14, 2025.

Brewed With Love is such a sweet YA second chance romance. It follows Sage and Ximena as they investigate a break in at Sage's family apothecary. However, spending all that time together investigating forces them to confront their past, and the lingering feelings that never quite left.

I really liked this one, not only was it super cute watching Sage and Ximena fall for each other all over again, but the investigation itself had me intrigued and wondering who was responsible. Overall, if you're in the mood for a sweet wholesome love story set in a fun world, I highly recommend giving this one a try, 4.7/5 stars.

This was a really cute sapphic YA witchy read! My only complain is Ximena's reason for leaving was easy to guess, I've seen that exact reasoning in a different book. I just feel it was hinted at a little too much. I really liked their relationship though, it gave second-chance vibes.

What a lovely, heartwarming story! Brewed With Love is a delightfully cozy fantasy mystery about a 17-year-old witch trying to solve a robbery, fight big business, and heal her broken heart. The second chance sapphic romance was so sweet that I now have cavities, and the final love tonic recipe inexplicably made me cry. I now have an urge to add honey to everything.
