A wonderful story about the power of love and the importance of mental health. The main character is an inspiring young woman who reminds us all of us have magic within us.

A cozy and warm hearted fantasy feel good novel. This book made me want to call up each of my friends and tell them I love them. A reminder that the best thing in life is to have a dream and friends to help make it come true.

I absolutely loved this book! The main character was incredibly relatable. Going back and forth between the current and past pov could've made the plot confusing but the it was very easy to follow along. The only thing I did not like was I felt like the ending was a bit rushed. If you are a fan of Queen Charlotte and Bridgerton series you'll love this book.

This book was a great companion the the show Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. It was not a novelization of the show with a separate plot, but gave the reader access to the main characters inner thoughts and feelings. It was very heavy emotionally at times but was overall a very enjoyable read.

Overall a funny lighthearted entry into this galactic universe. Some dialogue was a bit simple/repetitive to me but it was probably due to introducing all of the characters and their world. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series!
