Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

A curse that prevents the leads from touching turns a standard friends-to-lovers into something aching and inventive. The Hallowcross setting is pure cozy-witchy comfort, grief themes add real emotional weight, and the spice is surprisingly plentiful once the dam breaks.
