Impractical Magic by Emily Grimoire
Despite this being a book about witches, the main character was so very relatable; the never feeling like you are enough, the desire to prove yourself, the uncomfortable family dynamics. Even if you aren't that person in your family, you know someone who fills that role. But, the book was not just angst, there was plenty of humor. And the yearning! So. Much. Yearning. And, in the midst of the yearning, Scarlett couldn't stop sticking her foot in her mouth. The secondhand embarrassment. Her mom was horrible to her. Nobody wanted to take Scarlett seriously but Nate. Nate was everything. Scarlett's jealously over Polly was valid. The only thing I didn't like was that it felt like we never figured out how the magicians were able to capture one of the Scarlett as a Starling birds. We know that they did, but how? Otherwise, this was so well done. Nate with his vigil and his trek to the bridge. But him never going all the way there for over a year was so frustrating! But, him never giving up hope. He always believed in her, more than anyone else. He was everything. And her being the one to fix everything was exactly what she needed to be able to heal herself. I really enjoyed this book and will be reading the rest of the series.
