I couldn’t put down this sweet story of a lonely young witch bonding with a houseful of strays that have made a home in each other.

This gem of a feel-good story was a very happy surprise, for me. I just loved it.

It’s not perfect, but it’s a cozy, engaging and diverse read with a likable lead, cute kids, found family and a soft enemies-to-lovers romance. I fell hard for the way Mandanna wove loneliness and whimsy together in her writing and I’m really looking forward to the sequel coming out this year.
