This was a really popular book among my mutuals on booktwt so when it was picked for booclub this month I decided it was finally time to pick it up.

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches is a whimsical and heartfelt read, it has a children's storybook type of feel but is an adult fiction book. It reminded me of old disney movies in a way. Its not really my usual type of read, I don't really gravitate towards cozy or romance books but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It was easy and entertaining to read and despite the subject matter not very predictable.  The plot twists actually took me by surprise, especially at the end. 

I think the author did a good job of world-building and defining the magic system, but I just continuously was curious to learn more about it. Some of the mysteries remain unexplained even after the story is completed and that disappointed me a bit as a magic lover. Nonetheless, the characters are what make this book what it is, I really adored Mika and was rooting for her healing journey and personal growth throughout. The cast of characters at Nowhere House made me smile too, although I would say Jamie is an Irish man in a romance novel stereotype and I found it hard to ever take him seriously. I enjoyed seeing the themes of healing from past hardships and breaking cycles portrayed in the book. For a book that's overall very lighthearted, it was nice to see more serious themes being discussed. 

Overall I'm pleasantly surprised by The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and Im glad I picked it up.
