I liked the first half I guess the second one not as much and the last quarter not much at all. I don't think I've read a book before that used the F word so many times.

Really loved this one! Alice Hoffman writes so beautifully and has a way of making books really stick with you. 

I love that the magic is more subtle and real and there is a focus on sisterhood and family. 

I went into this book not really knowing what to expect and it wasn’t at all what I would have thought (and I’m glad!).
