This was a sweet little story of a young witch learning about her powers and reconnecting with an old friend. I loved the art style and I always like stories about people working together and being nice to each other but earnest teen romances (it's the same with heartstoppers) always make me cringe so hard. I don't think I'm the target audience and that's okay!

So so cozy. I don’t read a ton of graphic novels, but this truly is a good one. I read it over about two hours, so it’s not a huge time commitment, which I think added to the coziness (it probably also helps that I had a cat snuggling me the whole time). The illustrations are adorable and expressive, and the story is simple but interesting. I enjoyed and appreciated the diverse cast. Overall definitely would recommend giving this one a read.
