Field hockey! Witches! The 80s! I don’t think I’ve ever read a book description that is MORE up my alley! Which makes the fact that I struggled so HARD to get through this, that much more painful. I just sadly could not get into this one. Beautiful cover art though!

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the book. The plot is silly fun and the characters are lovable. It’s also quite well written. That said, the ending annoyed me. I don’t see why there needed to be a time jump, or why the author/narrator felt the need to continually defend or acknowledge the social differences of the 80s vs today.
