This was a cozy fantasy about a thirty-year-old witch who finds out she is worth love (and magic). It was an easy read and fun overall; really, there was a lot of potential - some elements of the magic and world were really interesting, like how people basically get to customize their experience. However, the main character supposedly loves reading and works in a bookstore, yet, for some reason, won't read her book that explains everything about magic - I find it SO hard to believe that not once in fifteen years does she read something that's clearly right there for her to find. Also, even more frustratingly, she is stuck under a boss she hates with an easy out - since the owner wants her to buy the shop and keeps offering it to her on a silver platter - and she just repeatedly refuses because she might mess it up and doesn't believe in herself, even though, directly in the text, other characters clearly recognize this as an insufficient reason, and call her out on it, and still...there's no other explanation until she magically trusts herself enough to take the owner up on the offer? This made-up roadblock was so unsatisfying.
