The Charmed List

The Charmed List

Julie Abe

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

After spending most of high school as the quiet girl, Ellie Kobata is ready to take some risks and have a life-changing summer, starting with her Anti-Wallflower List—thirteen items she’s going to check off one by one. She’s looking forward to riding rollercoasters, making her art Instagram public (maybe), and going on an epic road-trip with her best friend Lia. But when number four on Ellie’s list goes horribly wrong—revenge on Jack Yasuda—she’s certain her summer has gone from charmed to cursed. Instead of a road trip with Lia, Ellie finds herself stuck in a car with Jack driving to a magical convention. But as Ellie and Jack travel down the coast of California, number thirteen on her list—fall in love—may be happening without her realizing it. In The Charmed List, Julie Abe sweeps readers away to a secret magical world, complete with cupcakes and tea with added sparks of joy, and an enchanted cottage where you can dance under the stars.

    when I say I wish magic existed THIS is the magic I'm talking about!
    this was super cute! It combined almost all of my favorite tropes! Love me a good bucket list & road trip book and throw in some enemies to lovers, yes please!
    now time to go find a cozy magical cottage in the woods 🥲

    but overall, just such a waste of potential cuteness.
