What a sweet read this was! Honestly, at this point, anything Roshani Chokshi writes is like a drug to me. She could be writing her grocery list and I would pick it up.

Three Kisses One Midnight penned by Roshani Chokshi, Sandhya Menon and Evelyn Skye is a lovely little read about three friends in high school looking for romance and a little bit of magic in everyday life. While written by the authors in tandem, each of the three characters had a separate story. So the book actually read more like three different novellas than one story written continuously, which actually worked well for the book.

Perfect for autumn this book incorporates a well-indulged love for Halloween. Not the horror of it but the magic of it, which I thought was a lovely way to write about the holiday, a different take on it. The book sets up magic and mystique in the very first section with the brewing of the love potion. There isn’t an overdone explanation for how the potion will work, it’s a simple take on the magic which was really lovely. Any overdone explanations would have killed the story, becoming over the top and unrealistic. Simple and sweet.

I loved how different all three of the characters (Onny, Ash and True) were and how strong the friendship they shared was. It’s a testament to the skill of all three authors that they were able to conjure up protagonists who were so different and yet managed to gel together beautifully. The love interests were compelling and the town of Moonridge reminded me a bit of Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls which I happen to love.

Out of all three stories, Onny’s was my favorite. It incorporated my favorite trope of romance and I loved both Onny and Byron. I was rooting for them from the first page and I was squealing into my cup of hot chocolate by the end of it. Onny was in a word – luminescent, as a character. And Byron matched her just perfectly.

Perfect for spooky season, this book is wholesome with a sprinkling of romance and magic. Curl up with a cup of cocoa and a throw and you’ll be set for the night!
