“Books are magic. Maybe even the strongest magic there is.” Meg Shaffer always does a beautiful job of writing books that make you feel like you are reading books from your childhood, but with the complexities and emotions of adult life. I absolutely loved this book! I laughed, I sobbed, and I was taken away into a magical world. This story has beautiful love of all kinds (romantic, sisterly, familial). I am a person who doesn’t read the back of books before reading (whoops), so when I first started this I really thought we were about to get Meg does a true crime book, but then I was suddenly flown into a magical world! I will say some parts did drone on for me while others felt rushed - but all that being said this is still a 5 star read for me! Also after that ending I really hope we get more to this story 👀👀
