6 posts | 6 read | 9 to read
A witchy, atmospheric lesbian contemporary romance set in Salemfrom the acclaimed author of Fans of the Impossible Life. Perfect for fans of Nina LaCour and Becky Albertalli. Seventeen-year-old Eleanor is the last person in Salem to believe in witchcraftor think that her life could be transformed by mysterious forces. After losing her best friend and first love, Chloe, Eleanor has spent the past year in a haze, vowing to stay away from anything resembling romance. But when a handwritten guide to tarot arrives in the mail at the witchy souvenir store where Eleanor works, it seems to bring with it the message that magic is about to enter her life. Cynical Eleanor is quick to dismiss this promise, until real-life witch Pix shows up with an unusual invitation. Inspired by the magic and mystery of the tarot, Eleanor decides to open herself up to Pix and her coven of witches, and even to the possibility of a new romance. But Eleanors complicated history continues to haunt her. She will have to reckon with the old ghosts that threaten to destroy everything, even her chance at new love. Improbable Magic for Cynical Witches is a romantic coming-of-age about learning to make peace with the past in order to accept the beauty of the present.

The author combines chapters from Eleanor's present, past, and explanatory tarot book to tell the story of a teen who lost her confidence in love and life and show how she gets it back. The switches between past and present were a little confusing on the audio, but otherwise I liked this book. The characters are fun and the story engaging throughout. Content warnings for toxic relationship, bi erasure, and chronically ill parent. #LGBTQ #Witchy

The library book I picked up on a whim fits perfectly for today's #ScarathlonDailyPrompt #Witch

I am intrigued by this so far but it feels very autumn, very witchy and like these recent hot summer days are not the right time to be reading this?? Hmm, might dnf for now and save for October? 🧹🧙‍♀️🎃

Is the publishing world becoming more inclusive? The flow of my reading pipeline might suggest it. Read my review of this YA story set in Salem, Massachusetts here: https://debbybrauer.org/#improbable-magic-for-cynical-witches
