I've just looked it up because it sounds interesting, and there are two sequels. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08L287RL...
The plot: Middle school/early high school aged girl who lives with mom and has really only one friend. She goes to therapy and is generally unhappy but I can't remember what happened. She's kinda a weirdo and loves fantasy things and whatnot. One day after school she's trying to talk to a boy and is all of a sudden magicked/poofed out of our world and into a magical world, like castles and rolling hills. She finds this old guy who I think is the last wizard and advisor to the king. She is technically the princess but was taken from their world so long ago that her family is gone/dead. The girl and the wizard go on travels around the country to find answers, specifically about why and how she keeps getting pulled back and forth at random intervals between worlds. When she comes back to the real world, basically no time has passed no matter how much time she spent in the magic world. When she comes back she is not taken seriously that this event happened and is called crazy and is forced to do more therapy. So she gets pulled back and the adventures continue (I think this is a duology or trilogy, maybe duology with an adjacent 3rd story about her son?) and eventually she and the old wizard find a cave that is the source of the magic that keeps pulling her back and forth at random. It's like a glowing magic sphere forcefield thing where some old sorcerers used to work hiding from the world? It ends with she is allowed to stay in the magic world long enough to grow old, marry the love interest, and have kids. When one day she feels it (the tingle) and she gets pulled back into the real world for the final time, still in her gown, and she goes to find her childhood friend who is also grown up and has her own daughter and they reconnect and it's a great ending.
I really enjoyed this book and it is killing me that I don't remember anything useful.
