Impractical Magic
by Emily Grimoire

Summary
My Review
Stopped the audiobook around the 10% mark.
1 star based on the portion I read.
This book was a disappointment and was just poorly written. I usually enjoy cozy, witchy fall romances, but this one fell short in every way. The writing felt immature and amateurish, almost as if it had been written by a high school student. The attempts at humor came across as forced and cringeworthy, and the unnecessary cursing added nothing to the story. The dialogue was stiff and unrealistic, making it difficult to connect with the characters.
The FMC in particular was hard to root for. She came across as unbearably immature, negative, and difficult to spend time with on the page. Her toxic relationships with her mother and sister were also unpleasant to listen to, without offering any meaningful growth or resolution.
While I normally enjoy pop culture references, this book overused them to the point of being repetitive and heavy-handed, which quickly grew tiresome. Unfortunately, I had to give in and set it aside. This was not the book for me.
