3.5 rounded up for the lovely cover.

I adored the practical magic, the kitchen magic, and the actual magic. The recipes at the end of each chapter were a nice touch.

But the writing style (forced sounding prose?) isn't my thing, none of the characters sparked for me, and I felt no connection between Sadie and Jake.

If you're looking for a witchy romance, you'll be disappointed. But if you're looking for a story filled with family drama and forgiveness sprinkled with magic, you'll probably love this one.

This one was not written for me and that's okay! I can think of several friends who will adore it and will be recommending it to them.

Content warnings: death of character, grief, suicide attempt

Thank you Netgalley for the early copy in exchange for my honest review.
