This is a good book for grades 7 - 10, especially for those interested in magic realism. While the characters are in their senior year, they read as younger, and the romance is very chaste. I wish the concept of fate and its role in the town was more developed, but it focuses almost exclusively on the main character's family and their inherited expectations and pressures. Older readers might find the book more predictable and therefore less enjoyable. The cover makes it seem more witchy than it is. There are a few lines or concepts that didn't ring quite true for me, but overall a cute, enjoyable read for young adults.

I love this book. Representation matters and we know that. I found the characters relatable and realistic. The romance was great.

If you could change your fate would you? I love the representation of having a disabled main character and the inner turmoil of living up to familial expectations. I did find it hard at times to like Piper and even the main love interest Forest. Their relationship felt so clunky at times but maybe that’s the whole point of the book. This is a cute, tame read for anyone young adult who is new to the romance genre.
