Every Revelare has a curse. It’s the price of their magic. Sophie’s is that if she suffers four heartbreaks she’ll lose her magic. She’s already had her heartbroken twice. She’s happy to close herself off and run her bakery with her grandmother. 

A whimsical book that mixes Practical Magic family magic and curses with the small town charm of Stars Hollow. I loved the world building but do wish we’d seen more of the town. This is also a hetero romance which is not normally my thing. 

Trigger warnings for: Suicide attempt, death, cancer, murder, cheating.
