A delightful queer romantic fantasy full of friends-to-lovers chemistry, found family, rival family drama, and cozy garden magic from two acclaimed YA authors making their adult debut

Yael Clauneck is more interested in drinking and flirting than joining their powerful family's business. They're on the precipice of a predetermined life when they flee their own graduation party, galloping away in search of . . . well, they're not sure, but maybe the chance to feel like life can still be a grand adventure.

Margot Greenwillow--talented plant witch, tea lover, and greenhouse owner--has never felt further from adventure in her life. She's been desperately trying to keep what remains of her family's magic remedies business afloat. So when Yael, her childhood friend and former crush, rides back into her life, she's shocked. But perhaps this could be a good thing. After all, Margot could use an assistant in the greenhouses.

Yael has no experience or, honestly, practical skills, but they're delighted to accept the job. They can lay low for a while, flirting with Margot and figuring out what to do next. Meanwhile, Margot has plans of her own--but plans are notoriously unreliable, and unlikely to survive a swiftly blooming mutual attraction, not to mention the machinations of parents determined to get their heir back . . . no matter the cost.

The book came undamaged and quickly, which was nice.The story itself fell a little bit flat for me personally. I found myself becoming annoyed with Yael rather quickly in the narrative and didn't see why the two love interests would be into each other beyond childhood crushes and nostalgia... Not the greatest impression to have in a romance novel.The subplot was honestly much more interesting and the twist near the end about the potion was great, in my opinion. I would have loved more of that, and for that to be the main plot over the romance. However, I still think that it's a cute read.

This book was a bit of a random wild card pick for me to be honest but I’m so glad I did!It’s a very cosy, magical and interesting story with lots of high fantasy elements. It did at parts feel slightly clunky to me but overall was an enjoyable read. Some of my favourite elements were the description of all the outfits especially some of Yael’s suits, which just add to the rich dreamy world being created. The sir’ram reference was something new to me I really liked that too.Overall I would recommend this book and would definitely read more about Bloomfield and it’s inhabitants.

Yael Clauneck is wealthy and from an influential family. They are also what is now called non-binary. Margot is a childhood friend of theirs, and when they embark on an adventure, it is pure luck that they find Margot.Everything Margot has belongs to the Clauneck family.This is an innocent romance with parts which are anything but. I still struggle with plural pronouns being used for individuals, but this story is so charming, it was worth the effort.
