But the bonds they shared brought them back-almost as if by magic...

Review of 'Practical Magic' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I really wanted to like this book; despite that it was pretty dull.

I guess I was expecting more magic and less generic-drama style of writing :/

The book is mostly just love and despair stories and no real twists.

I'm already knee deep on this and I'm starting the 2nd book but mostly out of wanting to finish than because I feel involved with the story.

I could do with just reading a 2 paragraphs summary of the book TBQF
