Magical realism! I think there’s something so wonderful about imbuing stories with subtle whimsy. Like soulmate-identifying marks that itch when your beloved (detested?) is near. People who can taste lies & lose their sense of taste when fall in love. People who slowly begin to disappear when they’re in unrequited love. People bound by magical tattoos that tighten around their necks until they confess.

I love it. I think it’s the perfect blend of romance and fantasy that still feels real enough for the everyday.
