4.0
This book went by too fast! It reads like a light, magical summer read in the vein of Practical Magic (which the author acknowledges as an influence), but also contains deeper threads of sexual autonomy, coming into one's power, and of course, coming of age.
I loved the setting (every description of By-The-Sea is so evocative) and the characters (Vira as ice cream goth asexual rep) but the plot was a bit predictable to me? This is a YA book that may be meant more for actual young adults than for adults who want a light read. Which, valid.
