Found family trope? Check. Sunshine x grumpy trope? Check. Very well written overall, nice little “twist” at the end, plotwise. I wasn’t exactly expecting it but it also didn’t thrill me. I loved the characters. The book had a good amount of spice (which to me and my specific taste is 3 scenes max and this book had one).
I love how the book didn’t make any weird social media numbers up like some authors do when it come to things being viral on the internet, etc. What I do think is weird is how an 80 year old man was capable of knitting “a sweater for each person” as a gift, which means 3 kids and 4 adults. Personally as someone who knows how to knit and HAS knit several sweaters I would say this man would have gotten a severe tendinitis. 
I know worldbuilding wasn’t necessarily the main focus of the book but I always love how magic is described through each author’s vision. Witches make more sense as a community rather than separated.

Lovable characters, neat premise & multiple plot twists made this light hearted book a sweet & wonderful read. I really enjoyed it & appreciated the ending! Would recommend to anyone who loves magic, children & heart warming family-driven plots.

Sweet, romantic, spicy, touches on childhood trauma but doesn't dwell, redemptive.
