Feels just like the movie Practical Magic. Whimsical, cozy, lighthearted. The story revolves around rekindled sisters who learn to not shy away from their family legacy and embrace their gifts. For people who aren’t in romantic subplots, I’d suggest maybe trying a different book. Really enjoyed it though!

Minor: Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Death

There is a brief mention of sexual assault in the beginning of the book- this doesn’t repeat throughout the rest of the book. On occasion the character will mention how she was abused but this is sparingly.
