As good as you can get for a short story. I loved its premise. we never quite understand our parents until we are older. They go through many measures to shield us from the troubles that life can bring. This was a cute story about a Mother's love and a young girl coming into adulthood. I do recommend, it is a quick and witty read.

Every time I read a short story, I am reminded why I hate short stories. With the plot on this one, this could have been shorter.

This book was definitely something and my rating is still going to change because I love the message behind it and the lengths that mothers go through to protect their children. The fact that it was told through the daughters POV makes a bigger impact because we see her emotions and the consequences of what her mom does to her but then we see her as a mother. We see that she kind of turns into her own mother but in a different way where it's not directly lying to her children but letting them know about the possibilities of them being witches. I think it was very interesting and I did enjoy the aspects of the mother and daughter relationship. I would definitely recommend this book, even if I gave it a 3 star, it wasn't my favorite book in the world.
