I was super excited to read this until I did. After the first 7 chapters I was not only bored with the story but becoming impatient with her just getting to the point of what this was all about. So much was said yet a lot of it seemed irrelevant and it really could‘ve been left out in my opinion. Once I made it to Chapter 10 I was at a complete disconnect with the story. Josephine just seemed so random and all over the place.

The flashbacks threw me for a loop every time. There were points where I had to ask myself what is she rambling about. Sometimes flashbacks can really take away from a story if you’re throwing in timeline jumps that aren’t needed. I was honestly disappointed that the book turned out to be nothing of what I expected.

I didn’t stop at Chapter 10 though I jumped to Chapter 30 because I wanted to at least know how things ended. So, now here I am reading about her friend Angie who’s about to get married. Fast forward a bit now Josephine is in jail because she’s a witch LOOOOOOL. I was done at that point story over no need to even go back and see what lead up to everything.

My first assumption when I began reading was in the end she’d come out as a witch or something along that line.

Overall this was very slow paced and could have given more. None of the characters are memorable except for Preston who she refers to as “Party City” which is literally the only reason I remember him.

This one was definitely a no for me but I won’t say it wouldn’t be a yes for you!!!!! My rating is 2.5 for this which is solely based off what I read. Thanks to the author and netgalley for my advanced readers copy.
