This legit gives practical magic x Gilmore girls.
The use of food magic in this gave me life (and I’ll def be trying out the recipes).
This was cozy but also kinda stormy. Filled with many types of heartbreak.
Warning: Liberal use of the words pissant and shitass.

This was a book club pick and it was just ok. I enjoyed certain parts but overall, fell a little flat for me.

The marketing of this book intrigued me. It was sold as “Practical Magic meets Gilmore Girls”. Done and done say less. However, this book just fell flat for me. There were some endearing elements to this story. I enjoyed the big family relationships. I liked the witchy elements that we saw and how it was less “magical” than some others I have read. I also love when cooking, baking and food are woven into stories and I felt like this one did that quite well.
I think one of my major hang ups was the main character. I found Sadie at times to be whiny and slightly insufferable. She was very whoa is me and had a really difficult time seeing things from any perspective outside of her own. Additionally, this book tried to tackle a lot of different plot points but in doing that some of those points were lackluster and left much to be desired. Some things could have been left out since we didn’t get enough to really see them through. Overall, this was okay. It led to good book club discussions!
