Deborah Poppel’s Reviews > The Magic All Around: A Novel > Status Update

Not a bad read, but not much is happening. Has a “practical magic” vibe going. Can’t get past the ridiculous (and repetitive) name Ivy Ridge. Sounds more like an old folks’ home or affordable housing complex than a small town in Georgia. The love interest seems insufferable. Don’t know why romance has to be shoe-horned into every storyline.
