3.5
funny lighthearted reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No
A fun, sapphic, witchy romp that is at times overly clever but generally strikes a good balance between twentysomething realism and low-stakes low fantasy. 'John Tucker Must Die,' but with magic and a sprinkling of class commentary.
