Daisy está harta de las citas fallidas y de sentirse sola mientras todos a su alrededor encuentran el amor y planean bodas. Tras otro desastre romántico, tiene una extraña visión: es Año Nuevo, está en un bar, y un hombre misterioso le toma de la mano y le roba un beso que la hace sentir completamente enamorada. Convencida de que fue un vistazo a su futuro, Daisy se aferra a la idea de encontrar a ese hombre antes de que llegue el próximo Año Nuevo. A pesar de no recordar bien su rostro, comienza una búsqueda basada en detalles mínimos como un reloj roto y un vestido de lentejuelas. En el camino se cruza con Joshua, su nuevo y muy poco encantador jefe, pero mientras más se enfoca en encontrar al hombre de su visión, más confusa se vuelve su realidad… y sus verdaderos sentimientos.

No sentí que realmente hubiera romance ni crecimiento personal, más bien vi a Daisy, que se sentía sola y, al ver que sus amigos se estaban comprometiendo, se aferró a esa visión del futuro como si fuera su única oportunidad de encontrar al amor de su vida. Se aferro a Joshua, pero por más que estaba con él, no sentía nada, y aun así se obligó a continuar. Hasta que, de la nada, ella y otro personaje (no diré quién para no dar tantos spoilers) ya estaban enamorados. Todo se sintió forzado, como si el amor verdadero fuera una meta más.

a charming and sparky book which made me smile lots. the premise was a cool one. not just enemies to lovers but enemies to lovers simply because our main characters has SEEN it in her future. so its a given right? i did giggle thinking luvvie if you cant stand him im sure there is more than one man with a cracked watch!
this is such a fun book though. those messy ones but in the best way. where you feel part of the scattyness crew when you read it. like this is a book you want to be friends with.
Daisy has seen her man in the future. but now she is back in a puff. and a huff because apparently the man in question appears to be pointing to someone she doesn't like. ugh.
and this man is her new boss. ugh.
but of course we all know how the genre goes(in the best ways) so she has to make it work. she has to make it the proper enemies to lovers thang. and dont we all just love Daisy for doing so and bringing us along for the ride
Daisy was the perfect heroine for this book. shes just good people you know? not overly sweet or joyful but not lose hope and always sad about life. shes just Daisy and we love her for it....good people.
and her interactions with the boss are a little bit fab to be honest. i smiled far too wide.
loved this read and got through it in no time at all.

What if your fairy tale arrived in a premonition and came with a serious side of ✨“what the heck?”✨ energy?

That’s the delightful chaos you’re in for with Jennifer Joyce’s A Magical New Year’s Kiss. And let me tell you: this book is adorably bonkers in the best way.

We start with Daisy who, like many of us, has had enough of dating disasters and romantic dead-ends. But one night, reality hits pause and Daisy’s suddenly in the future, holding hands with a dream man she’s never met… just in time for a New Year’s Eve kiss that feels like destiny.

And then poof…it’s gone. The dream fades, the man vanishes, and all she remembers is his cracked watch.

Enter: Joshua. New boss. Cracked watch. Bad vibes.
Here’s where it gets messy (and delightful). When Daisy meets her new boss—with the cracked watch—she’s instantly convinced he’s the guy from her magical midnight moment. There’s only one catch: she absolutely cannot stand him.

Naturally, Daisy does what any romcom heroine might do: completely disregard reality and go full “enemies to lovers” project manager mode on her romantic destiny. And I loved every second of her stubbornly optimistic determination.

What I Loved:

* The magical realism: It’s subtle, sweet, and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Think less full on fantasy, more romcom with a sprinkle of fairy dust.
* Daisy: She’s chaotic, hopeful, relatable, and exactly the kind of disaster I want in a romcom heroine.
* The romantic tension between Daisy and Joshua? Equal parts banter and blush worthy awkwardness. They’re both too stubborn for their own good, which makes the payoff extra satisfying.

If you’re in the mood for a whimsical, cosy romance with a sprinkle of time-warp magic and just enough snark to keep things spicy, A Magical New Year’s Kiss will absolutely hit the spot.

It’s perfect for that sweet spot between holiday magic and everyday reality, and honestly? It gave me the kind of warm fuzzies that made me want to sip hot cocoa and believe in fate again.
