If you’re looking for a book that’s has Practical Magic meets Nany McPhee with a sprinkle of Jane Eyre, then start reading this book right now. 

I picked up this book wanting a cute and magical romance story and wow did this hit the spot. Mandanna not only created a cozy, magical sub-culture, but interwove real life issue witches might struggle with in trying to live a normal life. I also think the main leads were well-suited for one another. Their sunshine vs grumpy attitudes stem from similar circumstances, lending well to their affection despite the opposing attitudes. 

While there was romantic elements, I’d say this is more a cozy fantasy story since that’s what the plot revolved around. I honestly didn’t expect the situation to get as dramatic as it did, but I’m glad there were some stakes for the main characters involved. It made for an engaging book about all kinds of relationships - friends, family, and romantic. 

Like the tea the main character Mika is known for, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches was a warm, comforting read that delivers an impactful, heartwarming story.
