Review #510
I give this contemporary witchy romance a 4.0/5 stars. Told all in Sage’s point of view, we follow her journey when she moves back home after years away and reunites relationships with her family and past high school crush.
Positives:
Short chapters
Plant based
Favorite quote:
“Dirt sounds like a song, but a song made up of broken-down stems and acorns, bones and stones, and the skinny, sly migrations of spiky and smooth invertebrates.”
Here are my random thoughts while reading:
In the beginning I already have so many questions. What’s Sage’s history with Tennessee? How is a ghost gifting her coffee? Whose ghost is it? Who did Sage kill? Why isn’t she close with her one sister anymore? Why does she have to move back home at her aunt’s?
So she likes both Nate and Tennessee? I’m wanting a few less flashbacks of her teens years and more present moment as near 30 year olds.
If Sky’s not a ghost then what is she?
Why does she keep referring to Tennessee by his full name?
At the halfway point I’m glad they’re diving a little deeper into who they are.
Sage sure does cry a lot
The big scene as a bit anticlimatic. In fact it was more like a cluster of mini apologies.
Overall I enjoyed the plant and mushroom elements. And the sisterhood theme. It wasn’t my favorite witchy read since I needed more “umph” to it.
