Literally in love🫶🏽

She, who can’t function without directions and a map, wants to get lost right now.

The sisters cross their hearts and hop to die, then swear they’re in this together, forever, till the absolute end.

His grandfather told him once that witches caught you in this way—they knew how much most men love themselves and how deeply they’ll let themselves be drawn in, just for a glimpse of their own image.

“Lightning, like love, is never ruled by logic.”

“The aunts tried to encourage her not to be so good. Goodness, in their opinion, was not a virtue but merely spinelessness and fear disguised as humility.”

“From that day on, Sally thought less of herself. She did not ask the aunts for special favors, or even request those small rewards she deserved. Sally could not have had a more intractable and uncompromising judge; she had found herself lacking, in compassion and fortitude, and the punishment was self-denial, from that moment on.”

“But Sally didn’t have the heart to fight back. She wore dark clothes and tried not to be noticed. She pretended she wasn’t smart and never raised her hand in class. She disguised her own nature so well that after a while she grew uncertain of her own abilities. By then, she was as quiet as a mouse.”

“They recognized the truth in it, and we’re able to understand, earlier than most sisters, that the moon is always jealous of the heat of the day, just as the sun always longs for something dark and deep. They kept each others secrets well; they crossed their hearts and hoped to die if they should ever slip and tell.”

Don’t read this book. Just watch the movie. 🤪

This is so different than the movie. I wasn't expecting that. I miss the quirky lovable characters from the movie. In the book they are pretty unlikable.

в какой момент вся прелесть хэллоуинских фильмов превратилась в обычную драму

I really like it so far 🔮✨🪄

pausing for a moment on catching fire bc I got this book ✨

Sally wishes she could reach out an touch the moon and see whether it feels as cool as it looks.

56 pages in the first chapter….. my own personal hell. Also is this bitch (Miss Alice) allergic to dialogue????

нормально

This is so cozy and charming so far.

Whimsical ✨️🎃🧹🕯🔮🧙

I'm hoping this book gets me out of yet another slump.

okay this book is so much better than the movie i am so thrilled that sally’s daughters have a much more active role in the story and that they contribute more than simply their presence

Oooof. This may be one of the few instances where I like the movie better...

A heartfelt story

книжка написана таким образом, что я не просто читаю, а буквально несусь на скорости по сюжету. и это не то, чтобы плохо. просто факт.

Very different from the movie thus far! Love the writing though! Very magical.

I never read the introductions but for some reason this time I did. Alice is magical.

The butter kept melting, the way it does whenever live is under a roof.

200 years ago, people believed that there were reasons for everything, and that they could divine these reasons easily. If they could not, then something wicked must be at work.

When Gillian got rid of her past, she got rid of Sally as well.

Trouble is just like love, after all; it comes unannounced and takes over before you’ve had a chance to reconsider, or even think.
