I adore this author, but this book was the first one of hers I truly did not enjoy. It felt like a bunch of random plot points were crammed together in the hopes of creating a story, but they didn’t flow or develop the relationships.

I loved this book! What a well thought out story. This is my first time reading this author and it won’t be my last.

This story kept me so enthralled and engaged. I read this in one day, I really loved the mystery that was wrapped up in this romance. It wasn’t predictable (at least not for me) and I loved the fast pace. Everything was so well thought out and the writing was superb. The secondary characters were well developed and all likable. That’s rare in most books.

If you are looking for a fun witchy romance with a mystery …this is your book. I definitely want a hard copy of this one to add to my permanent library!

Enchanted to meet you is a charming and fun read with a great mix of romance, humor, and magic. The protagonist is relatable, and the witty writing keeps you engaged. Some plot points are predictable, but overall, it's a delightful escape. Highly enjoyable!

I was very excited to read a witchy rom com but this book just wasn’t for me. I had to take so many breaks from it. I wasn’t sure I’d ever finish. Thank you NetGalley, Meg and Avon and Harper Voyager for the E-ARC!

*Enchanted to Meet You* by Meg Cabot is a delightful and whimsical romantic comedy that blends magic, humor, and a touch of mystery. The story follows a young woman, Sophie, who unexpectedly becomes entangled in a world of enchantment and adventure when she meets a mysterious man with a hidden agenda. Cabot's trademark charm and wit shine through in her relatable characters and breezy narrative style. The romance is sweet and lighthearted, with plenty of fun twists and magical moments to keep readers engaged. While the plot may feel predictable at times, the book's enchanting atmosphere and humor make it an enjoyable, feel-good read.

I just couldn’t get into this one. I didn’t really know how Jess was supposed to help protect the whole town when she wasn’t believed to be a true witch. And I did not feel any spark with Derrick, and there was too much secrecy around his reason for being there. It just didn’t keep my attention.

Overall I thought this book had a cute premise, but it fell a bit short for me. I felt like the plot was very anticlimactic. I think I understand the message the author was trying to send, but I was prepared for some big magical fight so I felt a bit duped. I also didn’t really believe in the romance between Derrick and Jessica.

I absolutely couldn't connect with this book or the characters! I tried reading it on multiple occasions and I'm going with it's not for me. I think it's best I just move on from it and I hope everyone else who reads it loves it!

I've read many Meg Cabot's books and loved them over the years. Maybe I've outgrown them? This was meant to be a cozy witchy fall book, but it was not a fun read. It was a struggle to get through. It was slow and confusing. Pass.

This gave me the fall and witchy vibes that I was sooo wanting. However, I didn’t buy into the romance the way I would’ve liked. It felt cringe rather than cute.

I have tried this book multiple times and it just doesn't work for me.
Unfortunately, I had to DNF. I had big hopes for this book.

The writing is both engaging and lyrical, with vivid descriptions that transport you into the characters’ lives and settings. This novel isn’t just about romance; it’s about the journey of finding oneself through love and connection.

“Enchanted to Meet You” by Meg Cabot is the first book in the Witches of West Harbor series. In it, we meet Jessica- cottage witch and boutique owner. Jessica hasn’t had the best luck with spells in the past, but when Derrick Winters shows up on her doorstep and says she’s the chosen one and she has to train the bringer of light she’s ready to step up to save her town.
Like everything Meg Cabot touches, this book was fun! From quick dialog and inner thoughts to awkward encounters, this book was everything I loved in the Princess Diaries, just a little more grown up!
Also, I love the light hearted romcom vibes this book gave, while still being an excellent fall read. I love spooky season, but sometimes you need a book that isn’t going to make it hard to turn off the lights and go to bed.
In the end, this was a solid 4 star read for me! I’m looking forward to seeing where this series goes!
Thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books for an ARC! This book was on my backlist, so it’s available everywhere now!

I really struggled to get into this book. I just couldn't connect with the characters and the pacing felt slow. I think this was more of a case of right book, wrong reader, so I would still encourage others to check out this book! I think this one just wasn't for me.

Thank you so much to the publisher and to NetGalley for the e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

I picked this book up mostly for Nostalgia for previous Med Cabot books I read as a teenager. Although it was an ok book, It unfortunately did not give me the same feelings as some of her previous books.

I did not think the romance was super developed and the “chosen one” plot was confusing.

The main character is a mid-sized women but there is a lot of depiction of her being “plus-sized”. This representation felt forced and not very realistic to someone who is a Mid-sized. Also, depending on the reader, some of this language might come off as fat-phobic.


For a certain people, this book would be good. Unfortunately, this was just an average book for me with some points I really likes (the fall vibes) and others I did not (above).

If you read this book, please read it in fall or October.

Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for the honest review.

As a young kid I always DEVOURED Meg Cabot books. So when I saw this one up on Netgalley I knew I needed to read it. Part of me really wishes I had left my Meg Cabot reads to 12 year old me and part of me is happy I tried her again. But I think this should be saved for people who haven't read her to experience her. While I will always recommend Meg Cabot this just wasn't for me.

After struggling with this book for almost a week, not connecting to it, and reading the reviews and seeing I'm not the only one, I decided to DNF at 15%. Life is too short to read books that you aren't enjoying.

The setting of Enchanted to Meet You offers a charming escape into the magical world of West Harbor, where quaint villages and hidden witchcraft create a cozy backdrop for the unfolding story. Meg Cabot vividly brings this small town to life, immersing readers in a world where magic subtly intertwines with everyday life. The detailed descriptions of Jess's boutique and the town's tricentennial ball add layers of warmth and festivity, enhancing the reader's connection to the story.

The novel’s world-building is further enriched by the mysterious World Council of Witches and its influence on Jess's life. This governing body, with its strict regulations and hidden agendas, adds a sense of intrigue and tension, contrasting with the idyllic, if somewhat insular, atmosphere of West Harbor. The contrast between the town’s picturesque charm and the magical conflicts introduces an engaging dynamic, making Jess’s journey all the more compelling.

Jess’s evolving relationship with Derrick, set against this well-crafted magical landscape, provides both emotional depth and tension. Their interactions highlight the blending of everyday life with supernatural elements, keeping readers invested in the balance Jess must strike between personal desires and the broader magical world.

I had a lot of fun with this but maybe that's only because of the nostalgia I have for the Princess Diaries series. I wish the romance had been more fully explored, and perhaps that the magic had been a little more consequential at the end. But a good time nonetheless.

This was fine, but did not stand out to me particularly. I found it a little hard to connect with the characters at times. The opening was a bit slow for me. I never quite found the hook that drew me in.
