"What does a witch do when life's a bore? You wish for something more. If wishes were fish, homebody witch Lucy Caraway could open an aquarium and gift shop with every wish she's ever made in her entire life. When she isn't grading papers over homemade tea blends, Lucy tends to her ancestral home in Freya Grove, New Jersey, while leafing through spellbooks, protecting her familial magic from complete mayhem. On the eve of her ten-year high school reunion, Lucy yearns for more-the soulmate she's searching for, the cute cottage she's coveting, and to be the best version of herself. Fueled by nostalgia and spiced rum, Lucy casts a spell that brings trouble in the form of a big lie and reunites her high school crush merman Alex Dwyer. Like every Dwyer merfolk, Alex saw the world and all its splendors, destined never to make a home on land. When he's unexpectedly given a jinxed cottage, he returns to Freya Grove, determined to get his life on track after a string of bitter disappointments. Alex believes a merman needs a house like a fish needs a bicycle. He plans on flipping it and getting as far away from the Grove as his tail can take him. But once he discovers that his new neighbor is the witch who got away, Alex starts to rethink his plan. As the spell unfolds, baking disasters, flirtatious tea readings, and midnight meetups spark their decade-old chemistry; Lucy and Alex wonder whether their newfound love is strong enough to outlast the fleeting power of a wish"--

Really liked this witchy romance. Lucy feels like she‘s in a rut so she and her family make magical wishes. She then has to watch the wish unfold and it stops her from saying no. She has to bake and do karaoke. She also doesn‘t know if the wish is making Alex and her fall in love. I did not like Ursula and the next book is her POV, so we‘ll see if I pick it up.

Have you ever been reading 3 books at the same time and all the characters have the same name?!

All 3 of these books have male characters are named versions of Alex! Like what is happening?

Alexis, Alex, and Alexander! They‘re all fantasy type romances too. So confusing lol.

That is all. 😆

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I haven‘t experienced that 😂 2mo

Loved this magical romance between a witch and a merman ❤️

The setting was enchanting, and the love story was sweet.

I've got post-it notes on pages ready to discuss at book club 🙂

Love in a town where magic is real and people are chill about it. A merman comes back into town and sees a witch he knew in school. There are sparks right away, but mermen are known to wander. Will Alex put down roots and stay? Meanwhile, Lucy performs a spell to get an exciting life; is it magic, or is Alex actually falling for her? It‘s cute, but there are loose ends with Ursula‘s wedding! Not pictured: me crying as I fail to get the sticker off

5feet.of.fury Sounds like a fun read! And curse those stickers!! 2y
BriannaT @5feet.of.fury it was definitely a cute read, and I feel like adding these stickers should be a punishable offense lol (edited) 2y

3.5/5⭐ Cute magic-infused world. I appreciated the way spellcraft was woven through as something that can help but that the power still lies with the person. I especially liked the theme of manifesting the life you want.

Perfect October read!! A witch and merman who were friends in high school brought back together 10 years later. Can they finally make it past friendship and to forever? Absolutely adored. Read so fast. Desperately hoping the sisters get books too.

4/5

With her high school reunion approaching, Lucy is feeling disappointed in how boring her life is, but when she and her coven cast a wish spell, everything is flipped upside down. Suddenly Lucy is entering baking contests and running racing as well as getting reacquainted with her high school best friend and crush, Alex. It's a wild ride and Lucy has to figure out what exactly she does wish for out of her life.

Whenever it rained in Freya Grove, New Jersey, Nana Ruth Naomi Caraway, the matriarch witch of the family, said the same proverb to her eldest granddaughter, Lucy. “You don‘t know how deep a puddle is until you step in it.”
