Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced review copy of this book.
I really wanted to love this one, but there was just so much that made me cringe. Did I enjoy the story and the magic? Yes. Did I want to punch Penny every time she said "double-yew tee eff" or "ess tee eff yew" or "oh em gee." Also yes. Sounding out the words was unnecessarily annoying and takes you out of the story each time.
