This is a lovely book and I really appreciated the narrator on the audiobook who gave the different characters such definition. If Becky Chambers and Enid Blyton wrote a witchy romance, this would be it. It’s wholesome and sweet and completely not what I expected in a good way. The quote on the cover describes it as cosy and I think that’s very accurate. I really liked the main character and I thought her relationship with Primrose and the three girls was really strong. 

Flags for some people: About 75% through, we suddenly get a lot of plot in comparison to the middle 50% so that’s worth being aware of. There is also a lot of children/child-rearing in this book which I really enjoyed but was not really anticipating.
