My Rating

I want to say upfront that this isn’t meant as a criticism, but this book was just fine. After reading it, I found the writing good and the plot well-executed, but I didn’t have any strong feelings about it. Honestly, I don’t have many positive or negative thoughts about it. It was simply okay.

In the book, Mika Moon becomes a witch tutor for three young witch girls, despite witches in this world usually living alone for safety and protection. Mika takes the job and grows close not only to the girls but also to their caretakers. She starts to see a different way of living, one where she doesn’t have to stay so isolated.

A romance also develops between Mika and Jamie, a librarian and father figure to the young witches. I really enjoyed Jamie’s personality; he’s the classic grumpy guy, and there’s just something I love about a hot, grumpy nerd! As for Mika, she’s a ray of sunshine, and I think her backstory explains why she’s always trying to stay happy and positive.

“That was some excellent Mary Poppins shit right there.”

The heart of this book centers on the theme of found family. While I enjoyed the cute romance between Mika and Jamie, I especially loved seeing Mika find a group of people who accepted her and made her feel like she belonged—a connection she clearly needed, and one that I think will resonate with a lot of readers.

The magical elements contribute beautifully to the story without overshadowing other aspects. Jamie’s backstory was surprisingly deep, though it felt a bit unnecessary. Still, I appreciated how it helped bring him and Mika closer.

Overall, this is a solid, well-written read. The pacing is quick; I finished it in two days, though I probably could have read it in one if I’d really wanted to. My only issue is that the book doesn’t stand out and, unfortunately, didn’t give me the warm, cozy vibes I was hoping for. Still, I don’t have any other negatives to mention. Would I recommend it? Yes. Would I read it again? Probably not.
