The Charmed List by Julie Abe
5.0

A light and fluffy read that I devoured in 2 hours, it's truly charming. We follow Ellie and Jack, ex-friends from rival families, forced together on a road trip after a prank gone wrong. I loved the casual integration of magic, especially in the form of stationery. Who wouldn't want a bullet journal that makes you more confident? The magic system meshed so well with the story, adding tiny elements of whimsy throughout. Despite all of the fluff, we also get a coming of age story mixed with ideas about coping with grief that will make you feel alllll the things. Overall, just adorable.

*Thank you to Wednesday Books and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review*
