astoldbyangela's review
a few moments, lines, storylines even that were good but held together by an overall style, writing choices, and perspective that just rubbed me the wrong way from beginning to end.

It’s sold as a “cozy” read that feels like Gilmore Girls meets Practical Magic but it didn’t deliver any of that.

A whimsical book that mixes Practical Magic family magic and curses with the small town charm of Stars Hollow. I loved the world building but do wish we’d seen more of the town. This is also a hetero romance which is not normally my thing.
Trigger warnings for: Suicide attempt, death, cancer, murder, cheating.
