This whole book has my whole heart. It reminded me a lot of The House in the Cerulean Sea; grump-sunshine, outsider coming to a magical home to mentor kiddos with magic powers (this time it's three witches), and a heartfelt ending that was gorgeously Hallmark worthy. I was surprised it took place more around the Winter Solstice/winter than Halloween/fall, but I ended up loving it even more for that. I cannot recommend this book enough and I think it's one of those great "crowd pleasures" that just about anyone would enjoy. Lighthearted, fantastic mental health rep, diverse, lovely, romantic (the sex scene is an 11/10) and super adorable, and just overall a perfect book.
