I tried to read this book last year and for 2 months I could not pick it up. I decided to try again because it was my mood at the time and I devoured this book a year later. 

The way in which Sangu created such a magical little world made me so incredibly happy. Mika is a witch who grew up alone. All witches lose their parents at a young age through death and she was raised with the help of an adult witch but the help was only to provide for her financially and ensure that she is cared for by nannies and staff alone in a house. The witches all believe that they are better alone, their power together is too scary and will bring attention to themselves. Mika craves connection so when she received an email asking her to be a teacher to 3 young witches she has to see what is going on. 

We have 3 young witches, a gay older couple, a woman and Jamie a young librarian all living on the property and the witch that brought them all together is out on adventures and the 3 young girls are needing to learn control of their craft. 

I loved the found family, connections with one another, romance that blossoms, the 3 kids, the magic and just how cozy and happy this book made me.
