4.5⭐️ - The queer coven in Bright Falls continues to grow closer as a renovation of a local landmark calls on Astrid's skills as a designer. The pressure of a TV crew following the process isn't made any easier to deal with by the infuriating presence of Jordan Everwood, in charge of carpentry and also the granddaughter of the owner. As their adversarial relationship turns to something more supportive, they find that it's not just the designs that are getting a big reshuffle.
It was so lovely to see inside Astrid's head after seeing the relationship between her and her step-sider Delilah as a major side plot in the first book. Astrid's difficult feelings about her mother, the need for perfection she's always felt, and the desire to be the best all come unraveled over the course of this book and it's really enjoyable seeing all the characters from the first book again.
A sweet story, wonderful representation, and a small town found family I'd never want to lose.
