This book is completely worth the read! There is real magic in these pages, and it’s got a beautiful heart. I don’t write too many reviews but there aren’t many for this one that I could find. The world building was a unique blend of modern life and magic, a world I would love to live in. It seems geared more towards young adults but I think adults can appreciate it as well. It’s rare for a book to be lighthearted and fun while also being sincere and touching. I would definitely read more from this author!

It was an interesting read. I found the ending confusing though.

Going in I had thought this was a oneshot but it seems to be a series so a bit disappointed by that because I wanted to read something self-contained but my disappointment was quickly overpowered by the awe of reading one of the best first volumes I've read for a light novel series.

Despite the fantastical nature of the main character's(Meg) situation I relate and understand a lot her of actions and her thought processes. She's also extremely funny and likeable. In short she's extremely well written.

I doubt anyone can relate to the idea of being cursed with one year to live but at it's core it's a story about confronting and fighting against a seemingly inevitable death. As I read Meg's story I couldn't but help think of my mom and her fight against cancer. It's powerful stuff.

A very fun start to an intriguing premise. This first book doesn’t have a very satisfying end, but that’s to be expected of a series I guess. I did cry a bit at one specific spot that hit a bit close to home though

This was a great read and I really enjoyed the story of Meg. I went through a myriad of emotions while reading, chapter 4 had me crying, hit me right in the heart. I def reccommed giving it a read.
