Beautiful writing from Alice Hoffman. Like Magic Lessons, Rules of Magic is basically a life story. It’s difficult to tell at any given moment what year it is and how much time has passed. It’s just a bit too much content. But it’s still beautiful and emotional, and I will be finishing the series. Audiobook is probably best.

Cute and fun, but wow this book gave me anxiety!!! So much conflict within and without the couple. The subplot was super intriguing. A great book for people who aren’t crazy about the romance genre and need a little meat.
