Honestly y'all, this is just the cutest thing. Like "squeal your heart out and get mad because they just can't see it" cute. Is it super YA? Yeah of course it is. However, I didn't mind it. The story had a good flow and I was living for all the characters. As someone who believes in HEA's, I'm certainly glad with how this ended. It's just what I needed. Plus, Noah, stop being so adorable! It's making it hard to concentrate!

I enjoyed this book. This is about Charity who is a fairy godmother and helps those who she gets glimpses of. One day Noah shows up to ask her to get his ex back and to stop granting wishes. Now Charity is wondering if she is helping people or hurting them. I enjoyed the story plotline and most of the author's writing. The pacing was a little off and on in this book though. As a fan of Cinderella, I enjoyed reading the POV of the "fairy godmother".

I enjoyed the main character in this book, Charity. I love how she focuses on helping others and also her hair dye obsession. I enjoyed reading about her development and finding out if her glimpses do help people. I also enjoyed Noah but not as much as Charity. Sometimes I felt he was just there but he was a great supporting character. I didn't enjoy the romance in this book as much because sometimes it felt a little forced and there were basic signs where the other was saying they liked them but they didn't know which annoyed me. Other than that I think the characters were well done.

This was a lovely and cute book, kind of similar to Instant Karma. My problems with this book were the pacing and mostly the romance. My favorite part of this book was how Charity just dyed her hair basically every day. This was an enjoyable read and I recommend it to those who love realistic books with fantasy like Instant Karma.

DID NOT FINISH: 13%

Honestly it didn’t feel well written and the character seemed not very put together. I was more interested in the side characters than the main character and by 50 pages in I was skimming it

I received this through Netgalley and Edelweiss (oops) in exchange for an honest review.

Charity is a fairy godmother. She is from a long line of fairy godmothers, who help Cindies find their Happily Ever After (HEA). Sometimes she needs to magically nudge them along their path to get to the HEA. Charity was happy to have her gifts and enjoyed what she did for the Cindies, until someone figures out her secret. Noah hates how Charity twists her charges to be more like her. He has decided he will expose her secret if she doesn't help him get with his long time crush, who was a previous Cindy. As the two fight their way to his HEA, the ending may not be what they planned.

It was a cute novel. There needed to be better character development, especially related to the secondary characters. Many felt surface level and needed more layers. The pop culture references and slang will date this book easily and may make it difficult to recommended in a not-so-distant future. All that being said, I will read more by this author because there is great potential here. The book was easy and quick to read. The premise was interesting.
