Review:

In Every Possible Way is for the dreamers because it's such a cute, wholesome story about how two people find each other and love with the help of a little magic

I was really excited to read this book as I'm new to Magical Realism in Comtep. Romance and it was such a fun read! Jess is a dreamer and that is the best way to describe her. She grapples with the fact that she is one and wants to stop hoping for things she has no control over (very relatable Jess, it's a common dilemma we all share).

And as soon as she decides to be realistic, life hits her in a strange way. Enter Eamonn, and oh what a journey that was. They get to know each other in a slow and fast way simultaneously as they both know they only have so much time together (they do both think it's for different reasons)

And somehow, the way they get to know each other kind of feels like they've spent a lifetime getting to discover who their soulmate are. It's a beautiful, tender journey and you know it's the start of something beautiful. And while both Jess and Eamonn do have a different perspective in life, they share the same mentality of wanting to appreciate the smaller moments and finding beauty in it.

I do wish we got to dive a bit deeper into some of the things that we read from both Jess and Eamonn as they both brought up a lot of heavier things from their past. I know that they only had 48 hours together and so we get the version of them starting together and if they were a real couple, we'd know they'd be happy together

I will say that even though I did know this was a Romance and HEA are granted, I was SO scared they wouldn't work out and that we wouldnt get a happily ever after for both Jess and Eamonn but perhaps I should take a page out of Jess's dreamer book and learn to be a bit more hopeful as it all worked out🥹

I was provided a free advance reader copy and I’m sharing my honest thoughts.
