Book Synopsis:
She only wants three things. He isn’t one of them…
Dumped by her cheating ex, fired from her dream job, about to lose her flat: Clementine Monroe is not having a good day. So when her sisters get her drunk and suggest reviving a childhood ritual called the breakup spell, she doesn’t see the harm in it.
But now Clemmie has accidentally ruined a funeral, had her first one-night stand, and she’s stuck with a new job she definitely doesn’t want – spending six weeks alone with the gorgeous and very-off-limits rock star, Theo Eliott.
He’s the most famous man on the planet. Her life’s a disaster. When it comes to love, Clemmie is learning you should be careful what you wish for…
My Review:
Under Your Spell is a fun, romantic read with a touch of magic in it.
Firstly there was some absolutely amazing characters in this book who I loved following throughout the book- so much so that unusually for me I can’t pick a favourite. Clemmy and her sisters were wonderful creations and I quickly found myself wishing that I knew them in real life as they seemed such fun to be around. I loved that they were all so different to each other but that they always had each other’s back regardless of the situation. Theo was such a loveable character too who I expect was loosely based on Harry Styles though this hasn’t been officially confirmed. He was definitely a charmer and it was really heartwarming to see him grow closer to Clemmy. In some ways he was a bit too good to be true but in others he seemed the ideal man who I think most girls would love to date.
I was drawn into the book from the start and soon found myself completely absorbed into the story, unable to stop listening to it as I was desperate to find out what would happen. There were some absolutely hilarious moments that had me laughing out loud and some scenes were so perfectly described that I felt like I was actually there watching everything unfold. The ending was brilliant so I was very sad to finish the book and leave these wonderful characters behind. I’m really hoping there will be a sequel as I’d love a chance to hang out with them all again. This is one of those books that I’d love to see made into a film! Preferable starring Harry Styles as Theo and Bill Nighy as Clemmy’s dad.
If you’re looking for a romantic read to cosy up with this autumn than I highly recommend this one.
