This is YA novel about Colt and Julia, two teens from opposite ends of the social/financial spectrum who embark on a secret relationships is well-written but doesn‘t really end up going anywhere. Light pick.

This was cute! Sage‘s former friend returns to town & starts working at her family‘s apothecary, while her frenemy is on shift there‘s a break in & potions are stolen- including a misbrewed potion that has causes injury to another classmate. A quick read. The mystery was fun to try to untangle, low tension, the world is fun & I was quite entertained.

“It‘s very easy to get a boy to leave a room.
It‘s much harder to get him to leave your thoughts.”

Ahhh, I actually like that this didn't go the most obvious way at the end.

Also, loved that throughout, the siblings are so close and care about each other a lot, even though they don't agree and sometimes talk past each other.

I like the art and character designs, too, but I expected to given Velinxi's work on The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System in English!

Velinxi was the artist who illustrated The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System in English (you might remember me posting my favourites with each chapter I read when I did a reread recently), so I was veeery surprised and keen when I spotted this on Comics Plus! Thank you, library, once more. 🙏

And it'll fill a #ComicsBingo square!

I wonder if some of these spells are like a copyright infringement because “Magic Hand“ isn't exactly what Mage Hand is called 😅
