This is the OUABC Sweet mini box book, I did not buy the book box, I bought the spooky one instead, but I did borrow the book from the library.
This is about Allison, who seems like a normal stay at home mom, wanting to be part of the in crowd and perfect moms. And she finds away by being invited to be a Glamour Girl. All she has to do is exactly what the Boss Lady Astrid says to do. But the Glamour Girls have a secret, and so does Allison.
The description of this book compared it to Practical Magic, which I can see a bit, but it was much better. It was a light read, and lots of fun twists. The theme of witches was perfect for October. Sadly I had the major plot twist figured out by about 40%. Which doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the book, but it does mean it wasn't a shocking surprise ending. It was a nice light read for Halloween.

Fun Summer Read

I didn't adore this book but it was a pretty fun summer read. I found it hard to connect to the characters, and I didn't enjoy the flashbacks very much--I felt like they slowed the pace of the story a bit. Still, overall it was enjoyable and I liked the resolution a lot.
