*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*

Living as a 'muggle' in San Francisco, Scarlet had all but turned her back on her messy family and even messier personal life-- but when her older sister leaves her a desperate phone call begging for her help, she has no choice but return to her beloved, and magical, hometown of Oak Haven. However, when faced with the very real possibility of Oak Haven losing its magic, as well as her own past mistakes, Scarlet has to decide how much of herself she's willing to sacrifice for the sake of her loved ones.

As you can tell based on the reviews, IMPRACTICAL MAGIC is a bit of a mixed bag. The author did a great job of capturing the quirky feel and dialogue of Gilmore Girls-- but that fast paced, randomness doesn't always translate well into print. Additionally, I spent the entire book feeling like I was reading a sequel. I constantly felt two steps behind on character relationships, inside jokes, and even plot lines... which made the reading experience a little difficult.

5/5 fall vibes, 2.5/5 (rounded up) plot.
