Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press/Wednesday Books for allowing me to read a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This review might contain: Spoilers, incomprehensible words, abbreviations, mild swearing, and incomplete/run on sentences as I try to put the magic of this book into words. Reader discretion is advised.
A colossal thank you to the authors: Roshani Chokshi; Sandhya Menon; Evelyn Skye for writing Three Kisses, One Midnight.
My mind is blown. It has happened lovelies, a book from this publishing company has received the elusive all stars from me.
When I first read the blurb I thought the book would be a fantasy-fantasy book, but it is more like a urban fantasy almost. It has quality writing that if I did not know any better would say was written by one writer instead of three.
First, we have Onny's story which is a one-sided enemies to lovers trope. OMG, I love Byron Frost. He completes Onny perfectly and when only starts to realize it *swoon*. The first story was perfect because it is full of magic and wonder and hope and enough romance to make a hopeless, helpless, hapless romantic like me to swoon and have a gigantic goofy smile. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much and near the end when Onny realizes that she does not have feelings for Alexander the Great Looking (yeah I am not making that one up. I wish I was because its a groaner for sure) I had my hand under my chin with a dreamy sigh on my lips. I won't say what they did to reach the conclusion that they did because its too magical to spoil.
Ash, dear sweet Asher. He is a giant lovable mess and I wanted to give him a big hug when he was trying to figure out how to talk to Cassidy Rivera. OMG, why are they so freaking cute together? I found myself crossing my fingers in the hopes that they would get together, especially when the evil person tried to getting in the way of their love like how dare he he should know better than try to get in the way of true love, and I would have picked up a pitchfork and torches wormed my way into the book to take him out (I warned you about these kinds of sentences I even put commas in so you lovelies can take a breather from my mess of a melted heart).
True, oh my word, I fucking cried with this story because Bradley almost completely destroyed her from realizing that she was never the problem in relationships. And Orion, bless his soul, thank him for sticking with True and helping her realize that she is worth it. And all the little things she tried to rationalize because she is a skeptic.
This book wrecked me (if you don't believe me you clearly have not read the review and should read it again). My heart has been ripped out of my chest, stomped on repeatedly, set on fire, and given back. Here you go book you can have it back again because it is worth it.
How do I put this book into words that would accurately describe the magical feeling like discovering a book for the first time or looking at the full moon for the first time. It is like being in an open field away from the city and seeing the starry sky and realizing how infinitely big the universe is. It is lying on the field next to a soul mate pointing out cloud shapes and having fingers touch. it is like greeting old friends after not seeing them for over a decade. It is being a child when it rains during sunshine looking for a rainbow.
I willingly took the love potion because I am completely in love with this book and all of its characters and the world of Moon Ridge with its ghosts and fables. With love potions and discovering true love and the coveted kiss at midnight.
I am crying because I am on a book ban and I really desperately want a copy of this book. So if you are smarter than me you can go preorder a copy, it comes out August 30, 2022. Get a copy so I can live vicariously through you. 😭
Thank you again to St. Martin's Press/ Wednesday Books for inviting me to read this book. It's been a while since a book has left me this much in a mess to the point that autocorrect has decided to take over.
It is so good that I even created a reading playlist on Spotify for it. You can listen to it here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2etggrKnhF7VyqmnSAieg8?si=4695deb8833d4732
PS: do not worry I made sure the songs were tame because I sometimes listen to wild songs that not a lot of people know exist. See introduced to a new book and songs.
I 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000% recommend this book.
