I found this difficult to rate. My interest waxed and waned through the entire book. I would have rated it a 2, but I enjoyed the ending. I'm hoping when I continue the series, I'll enjoy Practical Magic as much as I did Magic Lessons.

I really wish they would have made this a movie as well. It was SO good.

The last third of this book lost me. The book was so charming and cozy, but the constant loss and sob stories by the end weren’t for me. I also don’t understand why Vincent couldn’t come back, especially before the age of the internet. The curse logic was also very flip floppy.
