Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for an early release copy
Wow- almost all I can say. Deeply emotional and hopeful, from the first few pages the story will hook your heart strings and leave you rooting for our main character. For a short novella, the author does a good job of creating a story and giving at least a little depth for our protagonist.

Our main character is a lost 29 year old, feeling bleak, lost, and buried in debt with no promises of the future. Many trigger warnings for the introduction. But when she is at her lowest, she gets an introduced to Roa who lets her know she is a magical girl. Roa and even overall the story represents to me, even when you’re at your lowest, you never know what tomorrow will bring. I would have enjoyed a little more story at the ending, as it felt rushed but a good novella still.
