review 1: This book was a huge let-down.I picked it up because the storyline appealed to me - a pregnant college student returns home to her estranged family in the Bronx and slowly begins to discover that they are all witches (the good kind). Chick lit meets magic realism … a perfect blend, right? Not this time. I was totally over this story about fifty pages in and the only reason I kept reading was because I was stuck on an airplane on a 5 hr flight and the airline charged $6 to watch movies. In retrospect, I should have just paid the $6, tossed the book aside and enjoyed myself. Sigh.My main issue with this book is that everything - EVERYTHING - is underdeveloped. The plot is interesting and there are some great twists, but the author skims through things too quickly with litt... morele or no elaboration. Because the story doesn't unfold at a natural pace, everything .. from Elly and Anthony's relationship to Itsy's big secret to the mystery surrounding Liz and the crying baby .. felt corny, phony and rushed. I also have some major qualms about the way abusive relationships are portrayed in the book and the fact that the solution offered was to rush from the arms of an abuser into the arms of a Prince Charming with absolutely no time in between for self-healing. Ridiculous. Bottom line - if you're looking for a light, romantic read with a dash of magic try one of Sarah Addison Allen's books instead.
review 2: If you believe in magic, witches and spells this is the book for you. Eleanor returns to her estranged family in New York due to some unforeseen circumstances. Once she is back she memories from her past keep resurfacing, while this is happening and old flame aso comes back into her life. Eleanor together with her crazy grandmother and her sister spend the time together trying to solve all of the family's past mysteries.The more they uncover the more things start falling into place.This book is full of mystery and wonderful stories. less
