Yael Claneuck has grown up knowing that the weight of their family’s expectations falls squarely on their shoulders. When they make a break for freedom, they are shocked to run into their childhood friend Margot Greenwillow.  Margot is attempting to save her family, her greenhouses, and her beloved town. As Yael becomes Margot’s assistant in the greenhouses, will they be able to work together to save the town and rekindle the spark between them? 

Homegrown Magic is a cozy and lighthearted fantasy that feels as delightful as a warm cup of tea on a winter’s day. I loved the queer characters and rep that is thoughtfully written into the town. The descriptions of the town and greenhouses make it feel like a real place you could visit. I enjoyed Yael and Margot’s friendship and eventual relationship. I didn’t quite buy the third-act chaos, but I enjoyed how the story ended. I'm excited to check out the next book in the series! Homegrown Magic is perfect for readers seeking charmingly cozy and queer fantasy adventures.
