“The reason magical girls exist is because they needed their power the most. In other words, before a magical girl awakens her powers, she’s the weakest person in the world.” Fun, fast, and surprisingly climate focused book. I’m a huge fun of subverting the magical girl narrative so this was just very up my alley.

I used to describe myself as having “unlikeable person syndrome” feeling a lot like how she felt it this book. It’s nice to see hope through adulthood and how frustrating it is to have to put constant effort into something that was done to you.

Smacks the book. This bad boy can fit so much heart, charm, and dirty talk in here. It was an absolute delight.

I really enjoyed the plus size rep and I’m such a sucker for friends to lovers. I just hopped for a bit more pinning and groveling I think. I also felt like a lot of plot lines/characters were randomly dropped.
