Sadie Revelare has always believed that the curse of four heartbreaks that accompanies her magic would be worth the price. But when her grandmother is diagnosed with cancer with only weeks to live, and her first heartbreak, Jake McNealy, returns to town after a decade, her carefully structured life begins to unravel.
With the news of their grandmother's impending death, Sadie's estranged twin brother Seth returns to town, bringing with him deeply buried family secrets that threaten to tear Sadie's world apart. Their grandmother has been the backbone of the family for generations, and with her death, Sadie isn't sure she'll have the strength to keep the family, and her magic, together.
As feelings for Jake begin to rekindle, and her grandmother growing sicker by the day, Sadie faces the last of her heartbreaks, and she has to decide: is love more important than magic?

"Heartbreak for Sadie wasn't a passing folly, to be recovered from with time and chocolate and tears. Because of her curse, it could take everything from her."
Make sure you have some tissues and maybe a shoulder to cry on before you pick up this book.
This story is painfully bittersweet, full of tender moments of heartbreak and loss. It authentically looks at the strange things we do to protect ourselves, the distance and barriers we build that leave us lonely when all we really want is to feel connected to people. And underneath all the sad moments, there’s so much warmth and humanity to go along with it felt like a tight hug after a good cry.
Sadie was a beautiful narrator, giving us a beautiful descriptive story with lyrical prose and so many small details that create a clear picture for us. At times her voice did feel very stiff, cold and distanced — which makes sense considering how guarded she is but at times it did make it a little difficult to connect with the story. But I adored the little snippets of recipes used in the story and the interpretations of how different ingredients can manifest different things.
I loved the subtle, every day magic that imbued this story — a reminder that magic isn’t always all about curses and dreams coming true but can be found in the small things. It was quiet, but that made this brand of magic even more spellbinding. The story was slow moving and spent time in the little thoughts and details, giving the reader time to think about we’d do if it was us.
A warm, witchy story full of heartbreak and healing.
