“I don’t think pain is a competition”

Healing Salve pg 176

Well. Unexpected that Jake would be engaged.

Confused by the haunted hill and the evil spirit ruining the garden and the curse of her heartbreak. And how all of that is connected.

Cherry Cheese Pie pg 156

Okay wtf does Jake want to tell her. He has tried so many times.

Cute lil family reunion. Why did i think her mom was going to plot twist show up? Was disappointed a lil that it didnt happen. But still happy the rest of her fam was there.

Can she not see that Raquel and her brother have a thing for one another? Lol

Fried Chicken pgs 139-140

Maybe Sadie will sell her receipes? Aunt Tava is back?

Come on girl! Please just let Jake back into your hearttttt.

Salted Cream Cold Foam Cold Brew with Earl Grey pg 113

Okay so Seth is just back and Gigi is full of secrets huh?

Orange Balsamic Marinade pg 95

Soooo Jake is acting weird. What the heck was he going to say after she said “i can’t believe you’re here”??

And seth is alll of a sudden back because gigi fell in the 5 minutes she was out of the house? Did she fall on purpose? So far this is the only plot point that seems like weird timing.

Mint Julep Ice Cream pg 70-71

So I am gathering that I may be onto something about brother giving up his magic or being mad that Sadie didn’t.

Wondering what this evil is that is burning her garden. But the wispy white thing in the forest? Is it her mom? Since Gigi said she was gone but she neither died nor left?

Also matchmaker Gigi inviting him to dinner. Sheesh.

Vanilla Jasmine Tea with Cinnamon and Black Pepper pg 55

Cant believe her third heartbreak is doomed to be her grandmas death. I feel her brother left for a reason though or that he chose to give up his magic and became angry with her for not giving up hers?

Rum Soaked Peach Muffins w/ Streusel Topping pgs 37-38

Awh he came back with a small spoon for her? Having a hard time being angry with him haha

Carrot Cake Cookie Recipe on pages 14-15.

So far it’s cute. She’s very superstitious about these omens. And i like how the baked goods play a role in the witchcraft/magic.
