The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

4.0

 This was a quick and easy read. I totally understand why it's categorized as a cozy read because it felt like I was reading an episode of witchy Gilmore Girls since this novel really emphasized found families and working through childhood trauma. I recommend the audiobook; it definitely enhanced the reading experience and made me like to book even more. The narrator, Sarah MacLaren, brought all of Mandanna's characters to life.

I look forward to reading more of Mandanna's books in the future.

“Who said anything about transforming the world?” He shrugged. “What about just making it a little better? And then a little better? And then a little more, until, one day, maybe long after we’re gone, it has transformed?”
