I read this book as part of a book club and I’m so glad they nominated it. I truly enjoyed this book. It is a cozy read with that magical/whimsical side that is the perfect fall read. LGBTQ and BIPOC are both represented in the book. Mika was a great FMC, and the author wrote her well. I felt like I knew her. The reason I made this book 4 stars instead of 5 is story is not action-packed. If you’re looking for that type of read, you will not find it here. There were months that the characters were together but all that was touched on was little things. Surely, the author could have broadened the story more with little “incidences” with the girls.

I can see why it's considered a cozy fantasy, it was really cute and there were moments where I did get a little teary because of how Mika was treated and her childhood as well as the children involved. There was also some Kiki's Delivery Service-vibes, which I also loved because it's one of my favorite movies so it was just so precious 💕 there was only one thing that is making me not give it the full 4 stars but that may change later. I can't wait for the author's next witch book.
