With Love, Juniper
Juniper Harlow had always been a nervous young woman. Particularly when it came to the social obligations of a well-to-do family in a small village. There were only very few her parents and her childhood friend Oleander Ambrose. He always seemed to understand her fears and often went out of his way to act as a shield against the perils of social interaction.
Oleander didn't mind. After all, he wanted nothing more than to make Juniper his wife. As far as he was concerned, it was his duty to protect her.
When Oleander left to attend conservatory to gain his sorcerer's diploma, Juniper was left to handle the overwhelming expectations of the people around her on her own. Which, for her, meant to avoid them entirely, retreating into her work as an herbalist.
When Oleander did return, he was unrecognizable, and Juniper and Oleander found themselves navigating an unexpected chasm in their once intimate friendship. Oleander, ever patient with his childhood love, was more than ready to move at her pace.
That is until Theo Vervain arrives in the village and sets his sights on Juniper with his own desires of courtship, seeming to have an inexplicable connection to the usually-timid young lady.

This is my book! I wrote it for a younger version of me who deserved to be told that she didn’t have to be perfect to be loved. I wrote it for people who, like me, thought there was something they had to do, some hoop to jump through, to be worthy of that.
I hope you pick it up and love the characters as much as I do. 💕

This book is a warm mug of cider on a cold winter's night.
I absolutely adored this book. Everything about it was masterfully crafted: the prose, the plot, the characters, all the way down to the smallest worldbuilding details. I could read a thousand books set in this world with these characters (and I hope to be able to someday).
The vibes were *chef's kiss* immaculate. I felt like I was reading a Studio Ghibli film in the best way possible.
More than anything though, as someone who contends daily with anxiety and depression, it meant so much to me to see those qualities represented in Juniper. I appreciated so much that the book understood that love isn't some magic cure that fixes those issues, but rather is about finding someone who appreciates you for them.
I already know that this a book that I will go back to time and time again in the future whenever I need a little comfort. Overall, I am just so happy that this book exists.

Oleander Ambrose is at his finest. Having just come home from two years at Conservatory, he is an adult now. He knows what he wants, and he’s ready to begin his life, and Juniper is a huge part of that plan. That is until he learns things about his past and must defeat the demons that come with the memories.
Juniper Harlow has always known what she loves and she throws herself into that passion fully. Her greenhouse, she feels safe there. Her plants, she knows how to talk to them. People, not so much…except Oleander. Oleander feels right, she grew up with him after all. But when he comes home from Conservatory a man, suddenly Juniper must figure out how to be around this new person and live with these new feelings.
This a bewitching love story that has small town charm, witchy enchantments, and fierce friendships. I absolutely loved reading this. By the end, I was completely smitten with these characters and I wish I lived in their little part of the world so I could visit them again and again. A cozy romance at its finest.

Absolutely brilliant & adorable story by Amanda Cessor. This story is brought to life by Amanda’s beautifully ornate style of writing. I found myself instantly connected to all of the characters. Their joy was my joy. Their sadness & anger were mine to bear. Absolutely loved the herbalist aspect to this book. It brought my witchy herbology love to life.
I came back to this review to add:
This was the coziest book I’ve ever read. I’ve been thinking about it for weeks. Amanda created the perfect balance of romance, fantasy, conflict & character growth. This will be a book I read over and over again.

Every moment in this book is so beautiful written. These scenes are truly painted out for you in brilliant watercolors. All of the imagery is amazing. I see so much of myself in Juniper, which made it even better that Oleander never saw her as broken/something to fix like she was so scared she was. All the characters were beautifully written, and I fell in love with all of them (even if I wanted to punch theo). And I greatly appreciated the couple queer characters that seemed so normalized! Overall, this was such a beautiful book so full of love that I'm so grateful I got the chance to read.

This book? Adorable! This is such a whimsical and cute read that follows Juniper and Oleander, two childhood best friends who must navigate their dynamic again when Oleander returns from Conservatory.
As someone with anxiety myself, Juniper’s character spoke to me. Her anxiety could be felt all over the page and how she coped with her anxiety is very similar to how I cope with mine. I loved watching her come out of her shell and be more comfortable with herself as the story progressed.
Oleander is my top book boyfriend right now. The way he dotes on Juniper, how he loves her even though she doesn’t love him the same way, how he’s SO quick to defend her and her honor! ♥️
This book was an absolutely wonderful read! It gives studio ghibli vibes and is honestly such a comfort read! It was like drinking hot chocolate and being wrapped in a warm blanket and honestly I needed it ♥️

It's taken me a few days to think on this wonderfully adorable book.
Childhood friends to lovers: sold
Studio Ghibli vibes: holy cow, extra sold
This cozy romance was exactly what I needed to start the year off right. It's beautiful. Juniper's anxiety was excellently written and Oleander's love for her was swoon-worthy. Daisy and Dante are the best friends they could have asked for. And Theo... Oh boy Theo. Ah Y'all will find out.
In all honestly I have not shut up about this book since I finished it. I barely finished the first chapter before I pre-ordered my physical copy. I upsell it to everyone, every chance I get. I am so happy I happened upon this book by chance.

This was such an absolutely cozy adorable studio ghibli style romance it’s giving Kiki’s delivery service and howl’s moving castle.
The FMC Juniper is a witch and an herbalist suffering from anxiety among other things, strong mental health rep, on Oleander her childhood friend to lover MMC knows she’s perfect just the way she is loves and supports her even when she doesn’t always feel the same. He is such a staunch defender and gives her so much uplifting love and supporting making sure she knows there’s nothing wrong with her and she is perfect. Theo on the other hand…well when you read you’ll understand why I don’t give him a second of my time.
Great side characters and besties that add depth and whimsy to the story line, vivid imagery reminiscent in details to Nora Robert’s style writing.
For a debut this novel really shines and I’m so looking forward to more hopefully studio ghibli inspired writings by Amanda, now off to re-watch two of my fav ghibli movies Kiki’s and Howl’s.]
overall this book is a 5⭐️ read for me but be advised a 0 on the 🌶️

BOOK REVIEW -
This book follows Juniper and Oleander, two childhood best friends who have always loved each other.
As someone who deals with anxiety, I found Juniper's character incredibly relatable. She's a sweet, introverted girl, and her thoughts and emotions felt very real to me.
Oleander is so kind and understanding. I absolutely adored the way he cared for her-with no expectations, just pure love and support.
I also wish I had friends like Dante and Daisy!
The love between Juniper and Oleander was so pure. I genuinely loved every second of this book. They were jus cute together! Oleander would do anything for Juniper. He wanted to keep her safe, did whatever he needed to make that happen.. this was amazing❤
Thank you @amandacanwrite & @inkedingraypress for giving me the chance to read this beautiful story
Overall, Love, Juniper is a lovely, cozy, and light read.

With Love, Juniper is one of those stories that is warm and whimsical at first, but layered with so much heart and depth that by the end, you’re completely wrapped up in its magic.
Balanced charm and melancholy, Amanda’s writing has this soft, lyrical quality that made even the simplest moments feel magical. It wasn’t just about love and finding love in the romantic sense - it was about connection, growth and self-discovery and the bittersweet beauty of change.
The atmosphere of With Love, Juniper was everything.
Cozy yet tinged with nostalgia, it felt like sifting through a memory tucked away in the deepest arc of your heart and embracing it-like those endless summer days of youth when worry was the last thing on your mind. It was a world wrapped in the charm of the Victorian era, brimming with the delicate beauty of cottage core-and the everlasting nostalgia and comfort of studio ghibli aesthetics. And the characters? So wonderfully imperfect and real. Juniper’s voice was honest and endearing and Theo with his gentlemanly charm and quiet strength melts your heart melt more than once. Their love was the kind that didn’t demand or consume, but simply was-soft, patient, present and ever-growing. Because isn’t that the best kind of love? One where you learn to live as you admire the person you love, where two souls stand side by side, shaping each other like the sea shapes the shore. I wish I could have bottled their moments for when I needed the butterflies.
If you’re looking for a book that feels like a soft melody carried by the wind, With Love, Juniper is a story you’ll want to tuck close to your heart.

with love, juniper is cozy romantasy at its best. it wouldn't be an exaggeration to claim this was the best cozy romantasy I've read.
with love, juniper follows the story of oleander and juniper two best friends aka a witch with social anxiety and her best friend who's loved her since they were 10. he goes off to witch school promising to come back and court her, and our socially anxious witch gets even more anxious after he returns hotter than ever, struggling to hold conversations like their childhood.
all of it gets messier when a oleander gets a rival in the form of theo, who is hell bent on courting juniper. and worse....theo and juniper seen soul bound....
the best part about this is how it justifies all the fantasy, romance and cozy aspects. amanda cessor weaves the most heartwarming childhood best friends to lovers tale in oleander and juniper, not to mention the incredible world and secondary characters she builds. there's nothing to complain for me and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this book.

This book is truly Studio Ghibli vibes. Captured perfectly. Plus, for me, Professor Layton vibes, which I also appreciate. Juniper is so relatable. I definitely deal with her anxiety, and I always need one panic attack before I go anywhere. I picked this book because I liked the characters art and it was the perfect choice.

This was such a cute and cozy story that I absolutely adored.
This story follows childhood friends Oleander and Juniper as they try to rekindle their bond after Oleander returns home from two years at school.
Juniper suffers from anxiety, which made her very relatable and likeable to me. I felt like I could really understand her and the way she coped with her anxiety.
Oleander was a great help to her throughout the story. He never made her feel less than or like she was a burden because of her anxiety. Her cared for her, protected her, and loved her for who she was.
I loved the whole little town and all of the other characters, except for one.
The details and research that went into this story did not go unnoticed. It was so factual and precise in all the right places. It was so beautifully written that I can't believe this is Amanda's debut. It's definitely a book I'll proudly display on my shelf and share with others.

I want to start out this review by saying how thrilled I was to read a cozy fantasy that I really liked. Often, "cozy fantasy" is code for "there's not a lot of plot," but apparently a cozy fantasy ROMANCE really works for me. That's because there's no need for an epic fantasy plot; instead, I just want to know how these two dumdums are going to end up together. Some things to know before picking this up: it's a closed door, childhood-friends-to-lovers MF romance. The FMC, Juniper, is about 4 years older than the MMC, Oleander. She lives with major social anxiety that has almost made her a recluse. Also of note? They may be childhood best friends, but their relationship is also that of foster siblings: Juniper's parents adopted Oleander after he was orphaned at 8 years old.
So yeah, this is a really cute cozy fantasy romance! I especially appreciated the world building: this can feel like an afterthought in cozy fantasy or romantasy, and while the magic system isn't fully fleshed out (and doesn't need to be), the world itself feels coherent and like the author has really thought about the implications of her fantasy society. At the same time, it would not be overwhelming for a new-to-fantasy reader or someone who reads mostly romantasy. The romance has low interpersonal angst, since these two characters love and respect each other already, but there's plenty to keep them apart. That includes a prospective love triangle, when Juniper meets another man with whom she feels very comfortable. That addition felt more organic than it might have, since both the prologue and epilogue are from his perspective. (Dare I wonder if there will be another book in the series featuring Theo??)
This is a debut, and once in a while it felt like it (for example, when a major supporting character is introduced at 60% of the way in). That said, this is a GOOD debut with strong writing. If you pick this one up, you'll feel like you're in on the ground floor with a solid new author. I had a really fun time reading this one (and, as you probably realized already, am hoping for a Theo sequel!).
This objective review is based on a complimentary copy of the novel.

August 11, 2025Thank you to the author for sending me a copy in exchange for my honest review!
With Love, Juniper felt like stepping right into a Studio Ghibli film — whimsical, cozy, and full of heart. The characters were absolutely adorable together, and as someone who lives for the childhood friends trope, this story was everything I wanted and more.
It’s the perfect read for the upcoming fall season or a cold winter night wrapped in a blanket with your essential oil diffuser on. All the witchy Victorian vibes you could dream of are here, and the author did an amazing job of bringing the setting to life. I also loved the age gap romance and the thoughtful mental health representation woven into the story.
I wish I could read this all over again for the first time.

This book is utterly enchanting.
The characters are simply delightful.
Juniper is the sweetest little witch, and it was a joy to watch her grow throughout the book.
Oleander is so charming, so endearing, and I love his friendship with Juniper.
Dante is my favorite, as all supporting characters tend to be (but Daisy is a strong second).
The world in this story feels whimsical enough to be swept away in the magic, yet grounded enough to feel a connection with it. The attention paid to detail of the towns (and the people) is absolutely masterful.
I cannot stress enough how much you need this book in your life.

A long-time fan of Cessor's writing, I've been eager to get my greedy paws on this book, and it exceeded expectations! The sweetness of the romance is among my favorite strengths of hers, as is the tension between two suitors. Juniper's character arc was satisfying and had me cheering for her the whole way. Ollie is a sweetheart who must be protected at all costs. And let me tell you, when I spotted the title of this book used in text, the way it was used, I fist pumped.
