“That was the way of grief, I was realizing. It was a barrage of pain that was so unbearable that it made you numb. And then out of nowhere, something made you feel again and the cycle started over from the beginning.” Truth 💯

This book is so beautifully written! I can visualize the woods, owls, rain, everything! This author is becoming a favorite ❤️

I tried tea again and it tastes like perfume 😩😣 🫖

This was an interesting mystery-turned-whodunnit tangled web of an abandoned friends group from 20 years prior. I was nearing the end before I considered this author‘s magical elements were left out of the story. Then I had to laugh realizing I didn‘t consider the MC getting little clues from her deceased twin as a magical element.

Starting this one today! She is becoming one of my favorite authors! 💫

I bailed on Playworld because i just couldn‘t get into it. Im jumping over to this one and hope to finish it this weekend because i have two more holds to pick up!

Love this author she is a amazing writer the story was amazing!

Adrienne Young is one of my “autobuy” authors, and will remain so, but I couldn‘t help but feel this one was a little pale in comparison to her other two adult titles. While the setting and overall plot were neat, I longed for a stronger lean into the folk magic undertones that made “Spells for Forgetting” so wonderful.

I have read all of Adrienne's adult books so far, and I have absolutely fallen in love with the stories, her writing, and the whimsical lyrical fantasies that she writes. This book started off very slow, I kept having to check to make sure I was correct about Johnny being her brother because it was coming off as romance to me. I wanted more from her and her love interest, I felt like their was more romance between her and her brother.

This review is a conflicted one. I hate to admit I didn't love this one. The plot was good, but I wasn't picking up what was being laid down for me as a reader. I hear the audiobook may have filled in that gap, which makes complete sense because I think this book would be fantastic on screen. It is still a pick vs so-so.
