When I tell you how loud I screamed when the Arc of this landed in my inbox. Meg Cabot is one of my all time favourite authors and this is me peaking with my bookstagram. And it's witches! And a plus sized MC! The buffy/charmed vibes are immaculate and I love the cozy feels of the town and its eccentricities. I do think perhaps the ending could have packed a little more of a punch but I am so excited to see what happens next in West Harbor 💜
I think Meg Cabot's style of writing works better in her YA novels, but this was still cute and fun and would be a great pick for a fall weekend read.
Absolutely enchanting!!!!
Thank you soooooo much netgalley, the author and the publisher for the advanced review copy if this book💗

If you love Buffy the vampire Slayer and Meg Cabot's books, this will be a dream. I fell in love with this new world she created and cannot wait to dive into book two!
What a cute book! I loved Jessica and Derrick (as well as Esther, Dina and all the other side characters). This book is perfect for the fall and to get you ready for spooky season. The flashbacks to teenage Jessica added so much to the story.
One of the best books I’ve read this year, I love Jessica & Derrick, Esther. Everyone. Another favorite by Meg Cabot. Can’t wait to read more in the series. Thank you to HarperCollins publishing and NetGalley for the ARC.
Enchanted to Meet You, the newest adult book written by Meg Cabot, publishes in September. It features Jessica, a thirty-something cottage witch who discovers she’s the Chosen One. She’s found by Derrick, a super handsome witch, who tells her that, as the chosen one, she has to find the Bringer of Light to heal a demonic rift that threatens to destroy her town. Of course, there is her nemesis Rosalie Hopkins, another witch in town who is out to make Jessica’s life difficult.
This is the perfect read to get you ready for spooky season! There’s witches, magic, romance, a quaint Connecticut town, among other fall-ish things. I highly recommend you add this book to your TBR!
4.5
This book had it all. It also reminded me why I love Meg Cabot's writing so much. This book was a full dose of witchy campy romance along with quirky antics and feminist witches. I loved that the witchiness was on the sweeter and lighter side. Jessica was a fantastic FMC and I really liked that she used her powers to make women feel good about themselves. She was also plus sized and possibly Jewish which I loved to see! Derrick Winters was her perfect contrast. He was skeptical, a little stormy, and just the perfect amount of swoony. I couldn't put this one down—the friendships were done so well, and I thought every piece fit together nicely. I absolutely adored this book. Thank you to Avon for sending me an e-ARC to read and review.
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 out of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book was pretty predictable other than one twist I didn’t see coming. It was a cute story overall. I would recommend it to fans of cozy witch stories.
No one writes quite like Meg Cabot and "Enchanted to Meet You" further proves that tenfold. Told in back-and-forth points-of-views, we get to see the first-person accounts of witches Jessica and Derrick as they team up to save her Connecticut town from supernatural demons. The writing is so compelling, which is just *chef's kiss* and keeps me very interested in the story. The characters (not just Derrick and Jess, although, they do) have such a quippy banter with each other, that has me screaming. The story combines the supernatural mystery (that I was dying to uncover, TBH) with a truly delicious fake dating trope. Honestly, I'm not a big spooky book gal but I really enjoyed this one because there's, like, an element of realism too.
This was a fun and quirky, low-stakes paranormal rom-com.
Our FMC, Jessica, is the Chosen One and has to help save her home town from the forces of evil before Halloween. How amazing is that?! I don’t want to spoil anything; however, I think this book will really appeal to adults who enjoy YA (especially those of us who grew up in the late 90s/early 2000s and loved The Princess Diaries).
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced readers copy to review!
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for this Advanced Readers Copy of Enchanted to Meet You by Meg Cabot!
I was really excited for this one, since I grew up with Meg Cabot (as I'm sure a lot of us have). Unfortunately, there was something about the writing style of this one that didn't really do it for me.
This is such a beautiful and romantic story, with a supernatural twist. The main character is a delight, and her relationship with her body image is another important factor. I highly recommend it to all those enjoying a good witchy read!
Thanks NetGalley and HarperCollins for providing this ARC!
Enchanted to meet you is a witch rom-com that focuses on cottage witch Jessica Gold and her love interest, Derrick Winters, who announces Jess is the Chosen One to help save her small town of West Harbour. Misunderstandings and witch rivalries ensue. Will Jess save West Harbour from destruction?
I have read almost all of Meg Cabot's work and, while a quick and entertaining read, I found this book to be subpar to her previous work.
The positives: the main characters are likable, there are romances and rivalries, and there are secondary characters that are well developed and would make great spin-off main characters.
The negatives: the story needs a bit more development, there are several unresolved plot points, and the resolution was anticlimactic.
Meg Cabot has a long list of great books, but this one missed the mark for me. I will not be reading any following books in the series.
Meg Cabot wrote a book about witches???
HELL YES.
This was such a fun read, and it was sooo meg cabot in the absolute best way.
The magic in this world was so fun and charming, and I loved Jessica a lot. This book gave me all the cozy book vibes. I felt very ready for fall and its like 107 degrees Fahrenheit outside.
I also LOVE Derrick, i need to protect him!
This is about Jessica and Derrick.
Jessica is a witch in small town Connecticut when Derrick visits her to let her know she is the Chosen One to help with the rift of demons in her town. From there, it's a light paranormal, cozy fantasy-ish with quirky side characters and sweet romance. This has a small town charm and a lot of the same humor that I associate with Meg Cabot books.
There was a couple of unresolved plot points for me like the storyline with Billy, the issues with the Witch Council, and the anticlimactic demon rift scene. But I think the book is setting up a series, so maybe we will see it in future books.
Overall, it was still a cute witchy read, and I look forward to more from this series.
Thank you to HarperCollins for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
In classic Meg Cabot fashion, this story is cute, quirky, with a sprinkle of romance and I couldn't be more thrilled. A plus size character being represented in a body positive way, a witchy premise, a really cute guy, and a pretty interesting story! It didn't blow my mind, but it didn't have to because it's a book by Meg Cabot. She's the master of cute, quirky and enjoyable!
Meg Cabot's latest wight rom-com is sure ti be a hit with her fans.
Jessica is a cottage witch, working her magic to create the perfect clothes for the clients of her boutique. When sexy Derrick comes to town to inform her that she is The Chosen One, he tells her that only she can save the town from total destruction.
Fun for all fans of romantic comedy, paranormals, and YA fiction. #EnchantedToMeetYou #Net Galley #SaltMarshAuthorSeries
I’ve been a huge Meg Cabot fan since I read Jinx many years ago. I’ve since read almost all of her releases and Enchanted to Meet You did not disappoint! It was such a great story! I absolutely adore that the FMC is plus size. You don’t see that as often and Jess is such a lovely, likable character. I loved Derrick and her cat’s obsession with him (can’t say I blame the cat lol)! The story had all the elements I’m currently loving reading right now - romance of course, loving that it’s witchy and so so funny!
I think the adorable cover will draw readers to the book and they’ll pick it up after reading the book blurb. They won’t be disappointed in the story at all! I certainly wasn’t! I couldn’t put the story down and read it within a few hours! This is one of the best books I’ve read this summer so far and I can’t wait for the release so I can get myself a physical copy!
