I’m really loving this story. I’m so happy it has been fully released so I can just binge it all

Man…I know Luna doesn’t like this dude of Nigel, but I find it fucking delightful. I love the pragmatism and his devotion to Luna.

I’m loving how this series is written. There’s the baseline of plot and you think it’s just a straight forward cozy magical romance. But then it keeps going. Layers peel back and the characters reveal who they truly are and the plot deepens and expands. And suddenly, you’re figuratively looking around wondering how we got to this point? How deep is this story? Will it go deeper?

Bro the pining, the miscommunication…it hurts so good 😂

I can’t believe that’s how this book ends!!!! This is getting so good. I looooove watching these two evolve.

Ooop. Mr Grimm about to snap….aaaaaand nothing happens. Talk about slooooooow burn.

Oh my god my heart. He gave her a whole surprise birthday. 😭

Well now that’s some proper yearning. On to the next!!

“What a tacky little shop.” HOWLS MOVING CASTLE REFERENCE!!

“It was the kind of breaking laugh, that near-painful relief after a moment of terrible tension, when one realizes suddenly that life really is mostly made up of a series of absurdities, and one could always choose to enjoy the hilarity if one wished.”

Volume II is certainly better than volume I so far. I highly suspect all the volumes should just be one big book lol

Brilliant. Idiots in love, mutual pining, and miscommunication. I love it.

I’m loving the Howl vibes with the magical door and the magical garden and the sweet little flower shop.

Ahh yes a very shy idiots in love story. I love it.
