Very sweet. A bit predictable, but I cared about the characters at the end. Cover famous author quote suggests it's like 'Practical Magic' and I found that to be very true.

Grace shows up in Dove Pond, angry with the world, but mostly with her sister. Sarah's family has been in Dove Pond for generations, and she believes she'll be the one to save the town, until Grace shows up.

The Book Charmer is a beautiful story that interleaves Sarah's quest to save her town and Grace's quest to save her family. Equally plot and character driven, Karen Hawkins does a wonderful job painting a picture of Dove Pond and all it's inhabitants (those with magical powers, and those without), and shows us the power of friendship in saving the ones we love.

For the genre of chick lit with a little magic I thought this was pretty good. I liked the characters and setting. The story was very predictable but was an enjoyable read.

This was g*d damn delightful. I’m not a fiction reader, it was a book club pick, but I am hooked on Dove Pond.

Just not my type of book I guess. It just was hard to listen too.

This book was adorably wonderful. If you are in need of a light-hearted read to remind you of the hidden magic in the world, this is it.
