Spells Trouble

I listened to the audio version and found the narration by Cassandra Campbell very pleasant. I felt her distinction between characters was clear without being distracting.

I'd like to start by saying I am not the audience for this book as a mid 30s lady. Though I did enjoy the witchcraft element and the friendships of the supporting characters, there was just too much melodrama for my tastes. I felt there was a lot of promise, and I probably would have been more into it if I was a teen.

However, I was VERY surprised by the explicit sex scene considering the target audience, but I haven't read a ton of YA so I'm not sure if this happens a lot.

One thing I really struggled with was the nervous habit one of the main characters had of picking/chewing her nails/cuticles. By the end of the book I was dreading the description of it and found it very grating and uncomfortable (which I imagine was the intention).
