I was not prepared for the emotional gut punch that was this book. 
Tw: death, cancer, grief. Having been my father-in-law’s primary caretaker during his last months of life, the scenes of the MC’s grandmother’s rapid decline, death at home, and the grief that followed I was wholly unprepared for. It was incredibly difficult, and painful. If I missed any TW listing, that’s on me, but I was not expecting to relive those experiences from a book that was marketed as Gilmore Girls meets Practical Magic.

The pacing was wonderful, the magic system fascinating, and I want more abojt this town and it’s founding families!
