Thank you so much to Macmillan Children’s and Netgalley for providing me with an eARC of this book. All thoughts are my own.

This book was an absolute delight from start to finish. I am obsessed with this.

It follows Kat and Brenda, two teens from alternate universes who have a chance meeting in Kat’s dads coffeeshop when a portal briefly opens between their two worlds.

I was really glad so little of this book was spent on them trying to find their way back to each other, in all honesty. Their chemistry was immediate and I loved them together so much right from that first meeting.

The world building and plot here are absolutely fascinating. The way magic works and the history of it in Kat’s world versus the complete lack of magic in Brenda’s world was really well done. The gradual collision of these two worlds and their intertwining history had me absolutely hooked.

There’s some really solid side characters in this book, all incredibly loveable and warm and welcoming.
