When We Were Magic by Sarah Gailey
5.0

okay real talk, I would take a star away for how it ended based on Josh except that BRING IN THE SPOILERS!
SpoilerRoya and Alexis getting together and the girl friendships and the love and support they all have and the not knowing who you are in your friend group felt so fucking REAL and RAW and GOOD that it adds like 20 starts, you know?
This is a good book. This book has really good representation and I liked that a lot. It also was really well written in the ways it discusses the teenage experience, including the fantasy approach of teens with magic. I enjoyed it an awful lot and Sarah Gailey deserves so much more hype than what they get.
