“The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic”, by Breanne Randall

I read this book from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review RELEASE DATE - Sep19, 2023 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I requested this book thinking it would be a story about witches and magic and cosy things very much in the line of the movie “Practical Magic” as the blurb seemed to promise. However, despite having seen that movie countless times in my life I always seem to forget there’s a very dark side to it. I always remember Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock dancing around the kitchen isle and all the autumn vibes that the movie brought, but there’s a side to the plot that focuses on grief, loss, and the need to be reborn from the ashes again and again. In the movie Sandra Bullock’s husband dies and she has to learn to live without him, without his love and without the father of her two daughters. And she finds what she needs in her family.

In the book, our main character Sadie, and all of her family have been born with magic and a curse, each of them. In Sadie’s case her curse tells her she will hace to suffer four heartbreaks in order to grow and let go of her anger and her fear. Her mother left, her boyfriend leaves, her brother leaves and then her granny is about to die of cancer… so all she has for sure is her magic. But then everything comes back to her, to a woman who is utterly scared of trusting and then losing people again. So she refuses to forgive and to rely on her people until she learns that perhaps love isn’t the thing in her life she should be sacrificing. And that there are things worth sacrificing for love, including herself.

So if you open this book expecting to be a cosy small town romantic comedy, this isn’t the book for you. The plot is dark and gloomy but also full of hope and promise. For we all need to break into million pieces before coming back stronger.

Did I find this book interesting? Yes, but perhaps it’s a bit too heavy on the grieving side of it so I wouldn’t say I’ve enjoyed it. And yet, there’s something to it that is… practical magic.

It’s better to be poor and have integrity than to be perverse and a fool. The poor are shunned by their family, and their friends avoid them even more! Remember that the poor are God’s creation too. It’s better to be poor than a liar.

Tis all for the day!! Have a lovely one!!!!
