It’s sold as a “cozy” read that feels like Gilmore Girls meets Practical Magic but it didn’t deliver any of that.

Additionally, the undertones were weirdly conservative? There was a lot of missionary white-savior rhetoric, a lot of churchy language, a lot of overly generalized and stereotypical portrayals of people of color, and a literal mention of Young Living Essential Oils. 🙃 Lastly, you could tell the author was trying to speak positively about therapy and mental health, but that was immediately cancelled out by her portrayal of one of the characters trying to take their own life and following that scene up with another character casually brushing it off by saying, “We all have our dark days.” 🥴
All in all, I would not waste your time on this book!!
