If you’re looking for a book about New England witches that has a message about female empowerment, this is not it. The imagery was lovely and romantic, but I struggled with the love story. It seemed like just another unhealthy dynamic after the whole character arc for Nell is about her healing from abuse. It was a hard relationship to root for given the petty conflicts and fragile ego of Zack. I would have loved more backstory and focus on the female characters friendship, witchcraft, etc.
