I was glad to dive into this delightful small-town witchy romance that enchants at every turn, but this time, prepare for an unexpected twist that adds an exciting layer of intrigue!

One of my new favorite witchy romances! It’s so cozy and sweet. I loved every minute of it. I think books like this one are becoming some of my favorite books

As a massive Gilmore Girls fan and lover of cozy Autumn books, I was so excited for this book. However, it unfortunately didn’t measure up. Most of the characters were not very likable. There were also way too many Gilmore Girls references. Due to this, it came off as cheesy fan fiction instead of a novel. Lastly, the end was drawn out entirely too much.

I do think the plot was great. I especially loved how the end solution tied to the story from the beginning.

Thanks to Net Galley and Avon for the ARC in exchange for a review.

I thought this was a super cute book however it was difficult for me to initially get into. I did have to put tho book down several times and come back to it.

Thank you to the publisher, netgalley and the author for allowing me to read this book!

I struggled a bit at first with this book, as I found the characters and banter a bit cheesy but overall I thought it was a cute witchy read when you’re in the mood for a light hearted book.

Really sorry but I just couldn't get into this book at all. Felt very chaotic from the jump. Felt very almost bad sitcom in way of comedy.

This one really hits all the marks! I wanted to read because it said for fans of Gilmore girls and charmed. It has romance, cozy fall vibes and witchery!

This is the perfect millennial fall read. The references were top notch - so funny and relatable. I didn't really care for the main character, she was slightly annoying. But, I did enjoy the character dynamics and the overall plot. I would love to read more by Emily!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me an advanced copy!
This book had amazing fall vibes and a cute storyline. I enjoyed that the characters were written with depth instead of having flat characters with little to no backstories. No, we got great backstories and the ability to understand the shifts, the moods and the motives.
That said, it did take me a little while to really get through this book. It didn’t pull me in but I did keep it up in order to get the witchy and fall feelings I was looking for.

This book was so cute! Perfect fall, witchy vibes. Very Gilmore Girls meets Halloweentown. While this wasn’t my favorite fall read of the year, it still had the perfect fall feels for what I was looking for.

I so wanted to love "Impractical Magic" but this book just didn't work for me. The magic came across as almost clunky, the romance felt a bit forced, the FMC a bit too into her suffering, and the villains seemed more sad than evil. The MMC deserved more than he got and the time jump was a bit silly, which is saying something considering what had come before. I am sure that this story will be loved by many - small town, witchy vibes, family banter are all excellent story elements. I, unfortunately, am one of the few.

2 stars. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for a complimentary copy of this book. These opinions are my own.

Unfortunately, I had to DNF this pretty quickly. When the word “mansplaining” was in the first chapter, I was immediately taken out of the story and the dialogue just felt so unrealistic.

This book unfortunately was not for me. I had such a hard time with the dialogue, the main character's internal dialogue, the choices, etc. This felt very very young - except for the curse words and spice. It was very trope-y, and the conflicts didn't always make sense.

The vibes, and overall premise of this book had such potential, and I hope the author continues to build on that.

This is my own personal review, and please do take it with a grain of salt.

Thank you to Avon Books UK & NetGalley for an e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Did not really connect with the main character. A lot of her internal dialogue felt very repetitive and immature for my preferences. The love interest and the romance part was cute and enjoyable. The family dynamic felt really harsh at times- the mom and older sister especially felt very hard to like. The witchy/paranormal elements were pretty well done.

I love reading witchy books at this time of year and I feel like impractical magic gave me what I wanted. A cosy read where all turns out just fine with a little bit of romance thrown in. I did feel like I never really understood why the oaks were poisoned nor the motive for those behind it. It seemed a bit wishy washy and not really reason enough to justify what was done. But overall I enjoyed the read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have some mixed feelings about this book. Firstly, I LOVED that this was basically a witchy nod to Gilmore Girls!
the fast talking, strained mother-daughter relationship, town with a gazebo, William’s hardware, AND the magician is totally elderly Kirk and I was HERE FOR IT.

However, it was a little TOO witchy. There were so many bizarre occurrences and chaos. I know that was done intentionally but the reader kind of gets lost when it comes to the point of the story admist the commotion.

I think this book has a lot of potential. I loved the feeling of the book and the mystery. However, the relationships are lacking, and the characters have no depth. The romance felt inevitable—not in the soul mate sense, but more a might as well. If you don't care about character connections or relatability and just want a good mystery, buy your copy today.

I would like to thank NetGalley and Avon Publishing for giving me the chance to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for granting me an e-arc!

Looking for a cozy, festive book to read this fall full of magic, lovable witches and a charming small town? Impractical Magic is your book!!

It’s been 10 years since Scarlett moved away from Oak Haven, her magical hometown that no one seems to leave. Scarlett enjoys her life in California, pretending to be a normal person and not a witch. Scarlett has avoided using her magic for the past 10 years, following a terrible accident that she has blamed herself for. Scarlett hasn’t even been back to Oak Haven to visit within the past decade, and didn’t have plans to-until she gets an urgent call asking for help.

When Scarlett returns to Oak Haven, she immediately notices something is wrong- the town doesn’t look like it’s same perfect, enchanting self…because all of the magic in the town is going haywire. No one’s magic is acting correctly, making for many accidents and unusual situations. Scarlett has been called back to Oak Haven to help with the problem, which she agrees to do. She plans on getting back to her life out west once the magic issue is resolved. Only, running into her almost, could have been boyfriend Nate makes it harder to want to leave.

Nate and Scarlett were great friends, on the verge of taking the next step to a relationship, when Scarlett hurriedly left town all those years ago. Now that Scarlett is back, their will they or won’t they vibe picks up right where it left off. Nate is obviously still into Scarlett, but she doesn’t see the point in starting anything when she plans to leave again.

Juggling the fate of the town and her relationship with Nate, Scarlett is determined to find a solution that helps everyone…with some help along the way.

This book was really cute and enjoyable! The town definitely did make me think of a witchy, magical Stars Hollow. I definitely recommend this as a fall time, cozy read!

This book was perfect for autumn 🍁 it has the perfect mix of witches, realness and Gilmore girls quotes.

Scarlett had left home and hadn't returned for 10 years. Her sister asked her to return after her home towns magic went haywire. Can Scarlett fix it or will she make the wrong decision again ?

I really enjoyed this story and it's perfect for this time of year!

I’ve been reading some pretty intense books lately, so this was a much-needed palate cleanse. It was light, sweet, and delightfully predictable—exactly what I was looking for. However, I couldn’t give it a full 3 stars because there were moments where the dialogue felt a bit cringey, and some of the punchlines didn’t quite land for me. The ending also wrapped up a little too quickly. I was hoping for just a bit more, but overall, I didn’t hate it!
2.5 Thank you NetGalley for the ARC
