The Forgotten Book by Mechthild Gläser

4.0

This book was so good! We follow a 16 year old girl named Emma who vows to make this school year her year, going to get her crush and become the most popular girl. She then while cleaning out an old library finds an old book, and finds out its a diary and she decides to write in it, only to find it has power to make happen whatever you write happen. She meets Darcy who has come to the school to investigate the disappearance of his sister. Emma isn't the only one who knows about the book, and it could be dangerous if it were to fall into the wrong hands. Her only ally is Darcy, whom she cannot stand. This book is magical and beautifully written, and it is a Pride and Prejudice retelling with a magical element. I took a star off only for the pacing, sometimes the pacing was a bit slow, but once you sat and read it read like a charm.
