Very wholesome, this book kind of feels like a warm hug<3
I loved all of the characters a lot!
One of the plot twists I saw coming, the other one I was totally suprised by.

The only two things that irked me a tiny bit were the dialogue of the children which seemed a bit too mature for a seven- or eight-year-old at times, and the sex scene which I could have done without and which kind of didn't really fit the vibe of the book.

Anyways, I too now want to live in a house on the coast in Norfolk (a place where according to Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, lost things are found, which I found wonderfully fitting) with witches, grumpy librarians, gay elders, a housekeeper, pets, and a lot of magic.

What a cute read! Found family, adorable characters, witchcraft; what more could I want from a book? It was very sweet & an easy read for October + my awful reading slump.

A very sweet, cozy story about found family. I would’ve liked to have spent more time on the budding romance, and a bit more time on the disagreement/resolution with Primrose, but I would happily spend more time in this world with these characters.
