Cute little romance that I probably would've gobbled up if it had been a magic high school AU fanfic on AO3 for my fave couple. As original, adult fiction, it was okay.
Sparks Fly was very fanfictiony which was fun though the characters pointed that fact out quite a few times lol
Some parts were really cute but I can't understand why this wasn't YA. I could believe teens acting this way, and the setting was also very YA so it kept throwing me off when they mentioned being over 20. Also didn't love how Cherry was treated or portrayed, solely there to further Mika and Arthur's romance.
