This was a sweet YA romance,  lots of high school angst and drama, and a bit cheesy at times, but still a fun read. The main character, Mim, has a super-elevated sense of smell, and can actually smell people’s emotions. She and her mother come from a long line of aromateurs - “love witches” who make elixirs that can open the path to love. Listening to Mim describe what various emotions smelled like was so interesting!

I enjoyed this story of Mim and her mom Dahlia, who are aromateurs. Mim is a teenager trying to find her own path both at school and with her friends, hoping that she can make that work with the expectations set forth for her by her mom, and generations ago by her aromateur ancestors.

Review to come closer to release date but oh my goodness. I love this book. It should definitely be on your to-read list

After three chapters: nope, not for me. Not in the mood for reading about a daughter with a controlling, narcissistic mother. And parts of this make no sense. In a world with eight BILLION people, these are supposedly the only two aromateurs on the entire planet?? You sure??? 

The descriptions and use of scents was fun, tho. Wouldn’t mind reading more books from the perspective of someone with synasthesia.

This book is light, adorable and just what I needed right now. It was like smelling fresh baked cookies as you came home from school :)
