I really enjoyed the premise of this book, but it felt like it lacked heart. It almost felt like author wrote the book to follow social media trends without putting thought into the writing style.

If you likes books with:
-Gilmore Girl vibes
-Witches
-Women who are in control
-Taylor Swift references
-Mysteries to solve (that aren't always murder)
-friends to lovers (with a while in between)
-sister relationships

read this!!

This book is super cute and a fun fall read.

Scarlett has been away from Oak Haven for 10 years. She left after her dad passed away and never came back, that is, until her sister calls her begging her to come help fix the weird things magic is doing to their town. Oak Haven is a town that people will forget about once they leave, because they're hit with an amnesia spell immediately. This way, the women of the town are able to practice magic all the time. Recently, the magic has been going crazy. Scarlett comes back to find magical flies ruining Oak Grove, where all the magic comes from.

Scarlett and her sisters must work with the people of the town to figure out what is going on and what they can do to save it.

There is a love story intertwined in this, but it's pretty PG.. with one scene that would be more PG-13.

This is filled with cozy spooky vibes and hilarious banter! The sister bond from charmed and hilarious one liners from Gilmore girls is the perfect way to describe the atmosphere this story creates! The plot is a little hectic , but I think that’s the point. I definitely recommend this for anyone looking for cozy, witchy , New England fun!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC opportunity!

This book was the perfect fall cozy vibe. It definitely channeled a Gilmore Girls vibe to me but with witches.

I will say i found the writing style a bit hard to follow. It also felt lacking at some parts which really had me struggling at times. This definitely would’nt be a good choice if you were in a rut and needing a pick me up.

That being said, once you get past some of that, it really does give a cozy vibe and the romance aspect was good as well.

I would still recommend this to my spooky/fall girlies.

Gilmore Girls, Halloweentown, and Hocus Pocus. The three vibes this book gives. So... SAY LESS. I thought this book was so cute! Such a perfect witchy read to get you in the mood for Halloween. This one has cozy small-town vibes and an entertaining plot.

It wasn't perfect by any means. I think the writing could use a little editing and at times it was hard to follow but I had a great time reading it!

This story was fun, and filled my desire for a witch-y story, as well as a rom-com. The small town and family inn truly did give me Gilmore Girls vibes. I was enthralled the whole time!

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this book

a whole town with magic and witches but there is something wrong with the magic and scarlett is summoned home.... she hasnt been home for over 10 years since the death of her father....

when scarlett arrives in oak haven she can tell there is something very wrong with the magic....

but first she has to face her family..... and that is not easy after all the years she has been away and then theres nate......

well this was an interesting read though a tad long but i enjoyed it for the halloween feel and the magic, light entertainment at its best

Everything is a slow burn in this story initially, and it took me a while to appreciate the characters and their family/ community dynamic. I like the New England autumnal setting and the vibrant descriptions. I also enjoyed the magic and the character development, particularly Scarlett's. It's a sweet, cosy romance with an appealing witchy element.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.

A cosy read with a nice premise, but unfortunately didn't quite live up to what it could have been. Struggled a bit with the writing style and connecting with the characters, however I thought the sense of setting was great.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for an unbiased review

I gave this book a 2.5 but rounded it to three stars. I read this book on and off since I had received it and I had a difficult time wanting to pick it up and read. I loved the fall vibes of this book but I did not find myself attached to these characters. It felt very much like I was in Stars Hollow but it just was not my a book I enjoyed. I think this book has the potential to be a five star because the plot was interesting, the dialogue was not. Thank you net galley for this opportunity to read this book and provide an honest review!

★★★½
A cute, cozy, witchy romance! There was a lot of pop culture references and the quick banter that gives it that Gilmore Girls feel. I think because of that, it was a little hard to read for me, so I ended up switching to the audiobook when it came out and liked it a lot more! Loved the concept of the world, but I feel like the characters could've given a little more. I think this is a very good debut novel!!

What is not to love about this book. It has everything you need for the witchy season that you won't need to buy another book.

This was a DNF for me. While the fall vibes were vibing and parts of the story line were cute, I never connected with the characters and things just got a little too corny. Then I heard a spoiler that the MFC turns herself into a flock of birds and I simply could not.

Could not finish, this felt very trite. It felt like the author had pulled themes and ideas from many different sources and made it seem inauthentic. I tried to get through this book but time after time, I kept hitting a wall unable to get away from familiar tropes found in a variety of shows, books, and movies.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- such a fun autumn read with magic, small cosy town vibes and amazing characters.

🎃 cosy small town
🎃 Witches
🎃 Second Chance
🎃 Romance
🎃 Magic gone wrong

Impractical magic was such a fun cosy read with magic and autumnal vibes throughout.
The writing style flowed so well and allowed me to really get into the book and enjoy it.

This book is perfect for the book girlies who love Gilmore girls but with a little magic added in 🥹

The town in which the FMC returns to after 10 years of being away seems cosy and so much fun. The world building has made me desperately wanting to experience Oak Haven first hand because it sounds dreamy 😍

The love interest/ romance seemed slightly predictable however this does not prevent me from enjoying a book. I loved the cosiness of the romance and the MMC and FMC were absolutely adorable together 🥹 The will they won’t they have their past as teenagers added so much anticipation to this story which I thoroughly enjoyed!

The FMC was such an amazing character. Her development throughout the book is so nice to read from being a guilt ridden person to healing and being forced to confront her past allowed her to grow stronger.

A second chance romance is exactly what I needed.

Thank you to NetGalley, Avon Books UK and of course Emily Grimoire for this EARC 🫶🫶

I absolutely loved this book! Good characters and storyline and all around enjoyable read! I highly recommend it and think you’ll enjoy it too!

This book definitely gave Gilmore Girls vibes with a magical twist, and I loved the quaint setting and the cozy vibes and witches. Definitely an enjoyable autumn read!!

Impractical Magic was a fun, spooky read to start off October with.

After ten years away from her small town home, Scarlett finds her magic is beginning to go on the blink. She returns home to find that she's not the only one.

This book gave me Halloweentown vibes and I was so glad for the chance to read it. It was a cute grumpy x sunshine read with a healthy dose of friends to lovers. A fun, magical romance for fans of The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic and Practical Magic.

Cozy, witchy fall read. It was okay — cute premise, but lacked on the follow through. Dialogue was difficult to read sometimes and the FMC wasn’t very likable. This would probably be someone else’s favorite though!

advertised as a Gilmore girl / Charmed cozy fantasy, I had high hopes for this book! Set in Scarlett's (FMC) hometown of Oak Haven, she returns after 10 years away to find that the magic system has gone astray and works with her two sisters, mother, and other witches to restore the magic system. while also sorting her feelings with Nate, her best friend / the one that got away.

The dialogue was hard to follow at times, but overall was a cute fall read.

tropes: cozy urban, second chance romance, friends to lovers.

Thanks NetGalley and Avon for an eARC! all opinions are my own 😊
