Better than Garden Spells.

This is a charming little love story. There are several love stories in this book, actually, and they all end well. Of course, they are love stories. Everyone find their true pair.
This is also a book about serendipity, signs, and misunderstanding signs... and daring to be true to oneself, and listening to oneself.
Garden Spells was a bit too like Practical Magic, but this one is, at least to me, totally original.
There were, of course, some things that didn't make any sense to me.
Like, how bad can a child be so that people will remember them as bad even after they never did anything bad after they were nine. “Sure, she send me flowers and get better card to hospital, but she kicked me when she was 6, and I still have the scar!” “She took my piece of chocolate cake when she was 7 and laughed at me because I cried”.
