The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic

I received this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

In this book you will find: On screen death, almost suicide, mentioned rape, faked pregnancy, loss of magic

This book was sold to me on giving practical magic vibes and being perfect for fall and while it did give those vibes it was much darker than I expected. Not in a bad way but I would definitely check trigger warnings, I mentioned some of the triggering things I saw above.

However, overall I thought it was good and gave me the vibes fall vibes I've been craving. Love the use of kitchen magic and most of the recipes found in the book I would want to try in real life, so it's an added bonus of 2 books in one. I thought it would be more of a murder mystery and it was more the death of one version of yourself in favor of a new one, which is something that all of us have to do at one point or another.

If the triggers don't bother you and having some dark things come out of left field that I think this book is for you!
