Spells to Forget Us by Aislinn Brophy
4.0
Thank you to @penguinteen, GP Putnam Sons Books for Young Readers, and Netgalley for this e-arc. All thoughts are my own.
Okay the miscommunication trope and I do not always see eye-to-eye but in this case the author did such a great job with it! It’s one that when done well, is a nice treat, and that was the case here. The writing was easy to read and get lost in the pages and even though this book is just over 400 pages, it is a quick read.
I have taken the stance to not post many photos of my daughter online. When I do it in a controlled space, and to a small following. I usually know all the people and have met them personally. I have asked my family to be the same. It took some adjusting at first, but when I explained that I wanted her to be in control of her image, they understood. In this case, Aoife is the daughter of an influencer and had no choice but to have her entire childhood showcased online. This is one of my fears. I just couldn’t imagine that life for a child when they got old enough to realize it. I love how the book tackled this topic and Aoife’s journey.
I really enjoyed the sapphic romance that this book had as well. Both Aoife and Luna had struggles, and they learned from them and worked through them together. The way their romance was written was delightful and heartwarming. It was a little coming of age, a little romance, and it was a great journey to be apart of.
I recommend this book to YA readers, and those who love the YA genre, it is truly a touching and wonderful read.
