I did not expect to love this book as much as I did. This book is something that I probably would have never picked up on my own, but I am so glad that I read it. This is such a cute and cozy fantasy book that tugs at your heartstrings. I found myself constantly giggling while reading this and I absolutely fell in love with the characters. I also really enjoyed Holly’s internal monologue and found her hilarious. If you ever want a light fantasy book that’ll make you smile and fall in love with the characters then I definitely recommend this! Oh, and without spoiling, I found the way that magic works in this story to be very interesting.
