Special thanks to TLC Book Tours and Amulet Books for an ARC of this book! All thoughts and opinions reflected in this review are my own.

I shall call this… mixed feelings. This book had a lot of potential. Black girl magic summer camp? Sign me up. I love magical boarding school books, and the magic and world of this one was fascinating. The writing and actual plot just… didn’t quite live up to that. I had a hard time getting into it, and some of the writing was clunky, and the way things were worded was confusing. And if I had a hard time understanding what the author was trying to say, someone in the age range this book was written for will probably have an even harder time.
I really liked the social media aspect of the book. I love books about kids wanting to be influencers, and I think that aspect of the book, for the most part, was interesting and fun. I wasn’t a fan of the intersection of the youtube and magic. I don’t think they meshed well. There were a lot of things we were just told about magic and tech, and expected to believe, but it didn’t make sense to me.
All in all, it was good, but it had so much potential to be better.
