From the New York Times bestselling author of Love & Gelato comes a poignant and romantic novel about two teens trying to find their place in the world after being unceremoniously dragged to Salem, Massachusetts, for the summer. Willow has never felt like she belonged anywhere and is convinced that the only way to find a true home is to travel the world. But her plans to act on her dream are put on hold when her aloof and often absent mother drags Willow to Salem, Massachusetts, to wrap up the affairs of an aunt Willow didn’t even know she had. An aunt who may or may not have been a witch. There, she meets Mason, a loner who’s always felt out of place and has been in and out of foster homes his entire life. He’s been classified as one of the runaways, constantly searching for ways to make it back to his mom; even if she can’t take care of him, it’s his job to try and take care of her. Isn’t it? Naturally pulled to one another, Willow and Mason set out across Salem to discover the secret past of Willow’s mother, her aunt, and the ambiguous history of her family. During all of this, the two can’t help but act on their natural connection. But with the amount of baggage between them—and Willow’s growing conviction her family might be cursed—can they manage to hold onto each other?
Reviews with the most likes.
It was so good at the beginning then it sort of started to go south.
(I don't want to spoil it all for those who want to read it so I will say it very vague )
I wish Mason and Willow started off as friends instead of being like those cliche romance books where the main characters see each other for the first time and they fall in love thinking it's true love.
I really loved how Willow was learning about her mom's past and the witches parts)
As well I loved Mason and learning about his past and his hobby.
Soon as they see each other, it seemed like they “found true love” and felt extremely rushed (especially how they met for the first time)
Maybe it could have been better if they moved the feelings of both of them to book two. (I would have enjoyed it more)
