Spells, Strings, and Forgotten Things

This book gave me major practical magic x stars hollow vibes. The town is filled with SO many cute shops - and the business names were next level. I’d actually like to move there indefinitely (please and thank you). The story takes place around the spring equinox, so it works well as both a springtime or an autumn read!
I was really enjoying this one until ~80% and then everything got way too chaotic. There were so many strings & so many forgotten things � it made my head spin a little. The prose also became super wordy and I was having to reread entire paragraphs multiple times to try and decipher what was being said. But aside from these pacing issues, I had a fun time with it!
I absolutely loved Lucien (the shadow daddy, grumpy MMC). He called the FMC, Calliope, “little muse”�. like, why is that the cutest nickname?! I honestly felt I didn’t get enough of the two of them, so I’m very much hoping there will be a second book!
Side note: there’s a little recipe section in the back of the book� this would be a GREAT book club read & then everyone could make & bring one of the Petridi sister’s recipes to the meeting! (If you do this, please let me know! I want to see!!)
Fav quote: “I would say I’d die for you, but what’s the point in that? . . . I would live for you.� OK, LUCIEN 🫠
