JOMP BPC - May 20th - Caused an All-Nighter

staying up late to read Sweet and Bitter Magic by Adrienne Tooley while on a busy road-trip holiday was not the wisest decision I’ve ever made but it was so worth it to see how this brilliant standalone fantasy ended

Title: Sweet & Bitter Magic

Author: Adrienne Tooley

Series or standalone: standalone

Publication year: 2021

Genres: fiction, fantasy, LGBT+, romance

Blurb: Tamsin is the most powerful witch of her generation...but after committing the worst magical sin, she’s exiled by the ruling Coven and cursed with the inability to love. The only way she can get those feelings back - even for just a little while - is to steal love from others. Wren is a source - a rare kind of person who is made of magic, despite being unable to use it herself. Sources are required to train with the Coven as soon as they discover their abilities, but Wren - the only caretaker to her ailing father - has spent her life hiding her secret. When a magical plague ravages the queendom, Wren’s father falls victim. To save him, Wren proposes a bargain: if Tamsin will help her catch the dark witch responsible for creating the plague, then Wren will give Tamsin her love for her father. Of course, love bargains are a tricky thing, and these two have a long, perilous journey ahead of them...that is, if they don’t kill each other first.

I thought this book was an enemies-to-lovers trope, but it’s more like grumpy/sunshine.

“Her cloak flaring out behind her like a cape” girl what does that mean.
