the unfortunate thing about this book is… it was not good. 🫣 it was HEAVILY hyped as being “gilmore girls meets practical magic” and while there was magic (albeit shoddily crafted and with so little clarity or actual sense), there was none of the gg charm or wit or warmth. and yall — if i had a penny for every dang simile in this book, i could quit my job. THERE WERE SO MANY IT WAS PAINFUL. i truly wanted to find constructive ways to review and share this book because there’s been so much buzz around it but… i’ve got nothing. i didn’t like it. it wasn’t for me. i don’t recommend it and i should have called it a DNF when i first noticed how often “like a …” was used by like page 5… 🫠🫠🫠
