very short and heartwarming! it has a sapphic couple which i didnt expect and the plot was wrapped up nicely. i did notice that there's a detail that was overlooked

When Jolina moves from the big city to a small island village, she doesn't feel like she belongs. It doesn't help there's a girl not making things any easier for her. But because she comes from a family who knows how to create magical potions, she feels she can come up with a potion to make her bully her best friend. However, she realizes that she should have been careful what she wished for.

It doesn't show on the kindle because of course it's just in greyscale, but I totally got this book because of how cute and vibrant the colors of its cover were! No shame in that

i love this book!! simple tapi banyak lesson learnednya. magic and potion juga bikin makin seru! konfliknya ala anak umur 11-12 tahun gitu, bisa dibayangkan lah ya. oh dari buku ini juga banyak dapet kosakata bahasa baru! tagalog hahah kayak salamat itu thanks terus ada bubuhan po atau apo yang dipake buat memperhalus biar sopan gitu deh. had so much fun reading this book pokoknya, ada sedihnya dikit sih sampe basah sedikit mataku but all the problems are well solved!

I just finished the audiobook for SUGAR AND SPITE, and I recommend it highly! (This story is pitch-perfect middle-grade voice for my own 3rd-grade reader, and I can't wait to share it with her.)
Gail Villanueva's enemies to friends plot made this a compelling read, and this book is perfect for kids who feel they're struggling to connect with their peers or fit in. I suspect many readers will appreciate the nuanced way both characters were allowed to be flawed with room for growth.
Fair warning: I ugly cried (in a good way) throughout the lovely author's notes at the end. Also, there's an awesome recipe for Yema Balls included, which is such a cool personal touch!
