Review:
This book came at a much needed time. The unfortunate side effect of heartbreak and magic focuses on many important theme that we encounter in life: grief, denial, and harsh realities in life that we need to accept

We go on a journey here with Sadie Revelare, as she learns to accept that she is unable to control everything and that sometimes, no matter how much she wills it, there is just no way to change fate/destiny. I love how this book makes you realise that there are certain things we are all in denial in and that prevents us from moving forward to other things. It portrays Sadie's personal growth, which you feel happens naturally throughout the story.

She and her Grandma (Gigi) owe a cafe together called A Peach in Thyme (such an adorable name!) and they lived in a town called Poppy Meadows, which "much like Sadie herself, ran like clockwork". But like how cute are the names!! And this book has recipes in it as well!!!! And Sadie is a big fan of bookstores, just like the rest of us here:

"Time ceases to exist for you in bookstores"

This book is truly magical and if you like cozy reads, it is the right book for you!

I loved this book in particular because I had just lost my grandma 3 weeks ago and reading this book was like taking a deep breathe and remembering my grandma as Gigi and Sadie's life unrolled, cancer took over and took her best friend/favourite person. I could relate to Sadie so much and cried reading this book. I want to thank Breanne for writing this, so that we can grief together over our lost loved ones.

Thank you to NetGalley for the Arc in exchange for my honest review.
