I'm so in love with this book! It was so adorably cute and funny, but with some strong morals. :)

Rachel was a blast! :) I laughed through most of the book and can not wait to read the next one.. I think it's so great that a story with an important lesson can be told with such humor and fun. :)

As a huge fan of Sabrina, this was one of my favorite series as a young teen.

When Rachel discovers that both her mom and her younger sister are witches, hijinks ensue as she attempts to use her sister's powers to better her own life.

All in all, this was a cute story, but I don't think I bother with the rest of the series.

This was funny and very believable. It made me think about what I would do if I suddenly found out there was magic in the world and I was part of it!

I remember loving this series when I was in seventh grade, and decided to give it a decade or so later reread.

Rachel is an engaging, funny narrator on a quest for popularity. She is very selfish, unpractical, and inconsiderate at time, but that is true to the nature of a self-absorbed fourteen year old girl. There are moments when she does show remorse for how she’s treating people, even if they are just quiet, fleeting thoughts. I also found it to be an interesting spin that Miri, her younger sister, is significantly more mature and self assured; I would love some more backstory on the girls growing up and on Miri’s life. Does she have friends beyond Rachel?

There were some areas that were lacking—for example, why exactly was Raf so instantly drawn to Rachel? Did Rachel’s dad really start seeing STB before breaking up with their mom? Is Jewel really a bad friend or is Rachel just completely exhausting to have as a friend? The Jewel and Rachel dynamic also seemed underdeveloped.

I look forward to hopefully seeing Rachel mature throughout the series.

3.5 stars.

I’ve missed this series. I love Rachel and Miri, and their sister bond is so realistic. They remind me a lot of my little sister and I. I can’t wait to reread book 2!

Also, Rachel, I have double d boobs, and it’s not fun. Want to trade?
