B*witch by Nancy Ohlin, Paige McKenzie

thiccadonna's review against another edition

3.0

this was gearing to be a solid 3.5 read but that rushed extremely anti-climatic ending knocked it back to a rounded 3 stars status. very low-effort entertaining read, a diverse cast, and a fun ride though I think the book should have been longer and would have benefitted from taking its time to develop certain characters/aspects of the story more. Still a nice lgbt teeny witchy fix!

It took me about half the book to really get into it, but once I did it took off! I was really hopeful but as I neared the end I had this feeling there wasn’t enough time to wrap it up. I didn’t think there was a sequel and it doesn’t seem like there is a continuation (yet?) but the end was just disappointing. A few hints were left to tie up loose ends but nothing was wrapped up enough. Every character felt like there needed more explanation for either their backstory or what happened next, even if there was a continuation out it didn’t feel like a good end to a first in a series. I have hope that there will be more because I enjoyed the characters though

It was alright. It was okay through most of it, but then it didn't really have an ending? I got to the epilogue and was super confused, I thought I missed something. I get not wanting to wrap everything up so you can have a sequel, but this didn't wrap anything up. It left me super unsatisfied.

i wanted to like this SO BADLY but i think it’s better suited for a middle school grade reading level, idk why it’s in the YA section. it’s cute! but just would’ve loved it if i had read it in middle school

this book was just eh. i didn’t really love it at first and i was totally expecting some cool ending or even more added to the end. i know there’s a part two to this book but i don’t even know if i enjoyed the storyline enough to want to read it.
