Our Cursed Love

I just finished Our Curse Love by Julie Abe @julieabebooks and here is my review.

All Remy wants is for Cam, her best friend, to be in love with her like she is in love with him. After years of friendship she wants to tell him how she feels and she decides that their trip to Japan is the best place to drop her secret.

On a fun night out, Remy has her tea leaves read. She asks who her soul mate is and she is told she has no soul mate. Feeling devastated, Remy and Cam stumble upon a magical apothecary and are offered an ancient soulmate elixir, something that is banned by the magical government.
What harm could taking it do? The worst is Cam forgets who Remy is and now it's a race against the clock to help Cam remember who she is before he forgets her forever.

I thought this book was super cute. Remy and Cam are so cute together and their friendship already blurs the lines between friendship and love but neither of them seem to know how the other feels. I'm not usually a fan of friends to lovers books because they all feel the same but this one had a magically unique element to it which made it that much more enjoyable.

I loved the idea of them finding all the cool magical places in Japan and the fantasy elements were a real winner for me.

The story is told from Remy and Cam's POV and I don't usually like multiples but the chapters were really short and that made the two POVs very cohesive. I wasn't a massive fan of the little love triangle because I kinda liked the other guy, Taka. I could have seen her being with him and I hate that!

I could definitely see this becoming a series I could become addicted too. All the magical stuff was only just scratched at and I need to know more.

It was beautifully written and I read it in one sitting.

5 stars
