 "What makes you happy?"

"What's that have to do with anything?"

He runs his finger along the rim of the glass. "Magic isn't something you can touch, and often the only way to get at it is to free yourself, to be who you were meant to be. That means feeling something primal, like joy."

Who I was meant to be? Who is that person? "I don't know who I'm supposed to be, but what makes me happy? That's easy. Books."

Amy Boyles, How To Fake It With a Fae


How To Fake It With a Fae by Amy Boyles is a fun fae fantasy that I really enjoyed. The witch versus fae battle was interesting and I loved how the magical systems worked, especially in the enchanted bookstore. Addie was immediately likable as a character and I completely identified with her love of books, especially pride and prejudice.Feylin Is the perfect Fae Prince and seemed quite aloof and unapproachable at first. Thankfully he showed a software side and it was adorable. Watching him and Addie try to figure out each other. I loved the family dynamics as well. And especially getting to know Addie's sisters. I think it's going to be so much fun to see the rest of the Thornerose women get hitched.. the book had a nice twist at the end and I really didn't expect Nana to be so interesting!
