I stopped this book mid way through while life happened. For a while, I didn't feel a need to pick it back up, but when I did, I realized the magic of this story. This story is comfortable and warm. Even though some of the content is not easy, the storytelling is like a night with your family.

Each character really grew and I enjoyed how they loved each other.

4.0

This book was such an interesting dive into what family means with a touch of magic. Each woman has their own magical ability but nothing grandiose, just something simple that can make their lives easier, I’d say. It starts with an invitation to a wake for a living person and ends with a family close than before and more understanding of one another. Some parts of it were wildly uncomfortable to listen to without headphones but it’s a good book nonetheless.
