solypoly's review against another edition
I’d give this 2⭐️
Usually I try to get at least half way through a book before giving up but god this book is just … uncomfortable. First of all the main character is really annoying and self righteous- even before she learns magic is real she should be able to roll with it when she knows that they think they’re witches but instead she’s like “omg a spell??!!” Like yeah girl keep up. Ok but let’s talk about the male characters and let’s start with Nick with best friend/roommate. I haven’t seen anyone mention this but it’s super messed up that he sends her nude photos that the guy he’s dating sent him. Beyond the fact that she seems uncomfortable with it it’s implied that the other guy doesn’t know and he’s just non consentially sharing those photos. If my friends were doing that Id be mad as hell. Now let’s talk about the supposed love interest who within a week of meeting her spies on her and makes a weird comment about thinking he caught her masturbating and then mentions in the most crass way possible that he masturbated while thinking of her freckles (after having spoken to her once) . Given that I actively dislike all the characters right now it’s hard to believe that this will turn into something I’m interested in reading. Also the writing is kind of clunky and awkward.
