I can’t believe it took me so long to read this book! I absolutely loved it and can’t wait to read the others in the series. I know I saw the movie years ago, but don’t remember it at all, so I’m definitely watching it again soon. I believe in falling in love hard like the Owens females do. I truly believe it’s destiny that brought my husband and I together. I hope one of the books carries on the story of Antonia and Kylie. I’d love to have a prequel as well. What a great story!!

I was excited to read this book since I love the movie, but I absolutely hated the book and I was very disappointed. It was dry and boring, and it really struggled to get into it.

This book made me fall in love with magical realism. It taught me that falling in love is always worth the risks. Ugh so good. Also books about witches are my favorite.

I'm glad I read this. It's very different from the movie and introduces Marie Owens from Magic Lessons.

Surprised that I actually think the movie is better. This book just gets overcomplicated. I still liked it, but not a favorite.
