The first page of this book dragged you into poor Olive's life and emotions. Olive lives in a world where everyone is a witch.  But she cannot cast spells.  She can make potions and is one of the best there is. You start the book with Cindy at her sister's wedding. Then the details come into play.  Personally, I would have screamed bloody murder at both my sister and my former boyfriend of 10 years.  Yes you read right.  Olive and Cam were together for 10 YEARS and he left her to marry her sister Cindy within 6 months.  Talk about backstabbing.  And yet Olive still participated in their wedding.  Um no.  There is no way I would have anything to do with either one of them.  Especially be so understanding.  I really just wanted to see Olive rail at them, scream to the world as her heart was broken, pieced back together, broken again, and finally whole.  She got close a couple of times, but never actually "went off".  There are two versions of Cam.  The Hexed version and the real version.  The hexed version was a real a$$.  I wanted to punch him or drown him in the ocean around the island they were stuck on.  He would say things like Olive was the "worst witch in witching school" and "Sometimes life does these things, and we all have to roll with the punches."  Dude, I'll show you a punch! But as the story continues, you find out that he was hexed and has no idea what has happened for the last six months.  Including leaving Olive for Cindy.  Once the Hex wore off, he was a whole different person, that you immediately knew you could love. I still wanted to see Olive yell at him and throw a punch, I mean come on, it's what he deserved, hexed or not.  She did take him back in the blink of an eye, which I would have made him work a little, but then I have not been in a ten year relationship yet so I'm biased. The culprit was kind of predictable to me but I won't spoil that for the readers.  I will say that it was an emotional ride (as you can probably tell) from the very beginning.
