Cutesy romance with found family and magic

My wife bought this book and because the title appealed to me, I picked it up as well. However, I expected some kind of urban fantasy, but what I really got was a charming romance novel with a PoC protagonist who just happened to be a witch as well. It was light and fluffy, the romance was enemies to lovers trope, and the spicy moments were not bad at all.

As romance is just not my favorite genre in the world, it's just a 3-star novel for me, it was nice, and that's it.

i love this book

This is one of the few books I've read that makes me long so powerfully to live in its world (let's be honest, to be the main character.)

The story is warm and loving, the writing lively and interesting. I already miss reading this book, and I wish I could have never left.
