I thought this story offered a unique alternative perspective in the teen witch genre. In any other story, Miri would have been the central character. By shifting the focus on her older sister Rachel, readers can identify with her wants and desires to be exceptional and not "exceptionally adjacent." All the issues our teen protagonist experiences are relatable, peer pressure, divorce, family visits in separate homes and wishing for a more perfect "A-list" life. Ultimately, the story shows that power must be used responsibly and that people shouldn't use magic to erase their daily problems, otherwise they risk losing their humanity.
