It was whimsical, silly, and light mostly. She comes from a magical family, makes a wish she doesn't believe in and turns her dog into a human. there is a lot more going on but that's how it starts. I wanted to love this story it sounded so fun, but it felt too silly almost like a middle school read at times. I didn't care for the female lead, she was unlikable and her connection to her "dog" didn't sell the story for me. There were some points where I almost gave up on the book. It didn't make me laugh as I expected and I didn't feel any heartwarming moments in the "romance" area.
Thank you to the publishers for a review copy
