Tucson is the bad guy

I hate this

"Part of our fascination with witches is that they are the only female mythic figures with power. These are women who don't need to be rescued by a prince or king but, instead, can save themselves-sometimes with the help of a sister."

3.5

Still nothing really happened, expect for love at first sight over and over

I had hoped reading the book would make the movie seem less random, but the book is just as random as the movie. 😅 Still enjoying it though, just wishing the story line was more mainline and not so back and forth to things that aren't really relevant to the main plot.

Halfway done and almost nothing has happened

DNF it… I couldn’t get myself into this book due to already seeing the movie in the past.
The way the author writes is not my style either.. sorry!

the aunts put chocolate syrup on the baby formula wtf is wrong with these ppl

“The aunts didn’t worry in the least about Gillian’s reputation” pretty clear they don’t worry in the least about this kids at all lol 😂

I really don’t enjoy that this doesn’t have normal chapters 😅

“They’ve watched Oprah..”

BAHAHAHAHA WHAT A LINE 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

“That’s why language was invented. Otherwise, we’d all be like dogs…”

BARS. Aunt Jet coming in HOT!

Almost halfway through and can say with complete confidence that I remember nothing from the movie, which I watched over twenty years ago, except the names of the two main actresses. Excited to find out what happens and to (re)watch the movie when I'm done!

"Sometimes you have to leave home. Sometimes, running away means you're headed in the exact right direction"

Omg what child cooks healthy food for their sibling. Where are the adults come on

I like it so far.

Not the she’s cleaning, she never cleans of it all.

I relate HEAVY to the flighty, Gillian, very flighty indeed.

SALLY GIRL, THIS MAY BE YOUR MCDREAMY BUT STILL A COP! SHUT UP!!!!!! There’s a whole decomposing rotter under YOUR BUSHES!!

ACCURSED AUGUST CONFIRMED 🗣️🗣️🗣️

OKAY EVERYTHING REALLY GEARED UP

1) men like jimmy can truly go rot underneath the lilacs
2) sally is so dramatic but I love her bc she is me fr 😀✨

Kyle being a strong empath 🫶🏼

Love our baby girl so much!!

i really like alice hoffman's writing style. i've already said this to her personally but it feels nice to reread and find it still true.

forgot how different this is to the movie

I feel like we’re finally back on track with a clear story… it’s just a shame cause there’s only 40 pages left. There was so much in the middle that I don’t even remember reading. It felt a bit pointless ?

Not feeling this one at all, does it get better? I might not finish...

Man, when I was 13 I couldn’t wait to be 14 but I was just a silly kid. No big change until like 15??

Anyway glad I didn’t get aura powers, that feels overstimulating

Hard time getting into it because I’m grouchy

Scratch that - it’s actually 80 page long sections without chapters

The way that there’s no real chapters and just like 40 page long sections makes it so much harder to read than it should
