Addie makes her return to her hometown, where she had hoped to leave secrets of the past behind. But when Aunt Bean begins having health issues and asks Addie to return to help her with her bakery and things around the house, Addie can't say no. But she knows that Aunt Bean has also asked Tessa Jane to come, her half-sister, whom she never had a good relationship with. And where Addie is working through coming to terms with the death of her best friend and the secrets she left behind, Tessa Jane has her own problems she needs to work through. Aunt Bean may be their reason for returning, but the Starlight might have their answers to repair relationships and forgive the past.

I don't read a lot of magical realism stories, but I'm so glad I picked this one up! The characters were charming, I loved the storyline, and it was just written beautifully. The duel POV with Addie and Tessa Jane showed glimpses into their individual lives and their views on their repairing relationship. I also actually found myself laughing out loud a few times at some of the things the characters said. It was such a cozy, small-town vibe, and I could really feel the love for the people in the story and for the Starlight field. There were enough complications in the story to keep it interesting, but was also very lighthearted.

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys magical realism and family relationship repair stories.
