Aggressively cozy and charming while managing to mostly avoid being saccharine or overly twee.

Handled themes of abandonment, trauma, and generational trauma quite well for a cute little book about witches.

3.5

I was pleasantly surprised by this book, but I'd be lying if I said it sold me on chick lit/lite reading novels in general. In an effort to expand my horizons I decided to dive headfirst into a genre I don't typically gravitate towards, so I picked up this book after scouring the internet for something light that had magical elements but wasn't necessarily a fantasy novel. If that makes sense 🤷‍♀️. The story is a straightforward found family romantic comedy about a witch named Mika who finds herself teaching a group of young witches how to control their powers. An astute reader will see the twist at the end coming a mile away, and if I am being entirely honest, I think the climax was solved way too fast. But I still think this book is worth the read. It's not high art, but it held my attention. I'll give this novel a 3.5 out of 5 ⭐. Probably won't ever pick this up again, but it was a fun little ride.

This book was everything that it wanted to be- it was cozy, witchy, and wholesome. I love all these characters and their dynamics, especially with Mika as the newcomer. I adored the little girls too and liked seeing the progression of the relationship subplot. I appreciated how race and diversity were mentioned and felt like Mika was a really well-adjusted character, albeit with some understandable trauma that shaped her viewpoints but didn’t stop her from being the sunshine. The third act conflict felt very realistic (as far as a witchy fantasy could be) and understandable and took a little effort to resolve, which I liked. The ending wrapped up really nicely which is expected with a cozy book. The writing quality and characters were very well written though! I am so excited to read the next one.
