Garden Spells by Sarah Addison AllenThis book sounded intriguing.............many people have likened it to Practical Magic. The writing reminded me a lot of Alice Hoffman.
This book is about the Waverly sisters. Waverly family members often have magical gifts. Sydney has a way with styling hair and understanding what the styles mean. Claire uses food to evoke feelings. Their Aunt knows items that people will need in the future, but not what they will need them for. Bay, Sydney's little girl has the gift of knowing where things or people belong. The Waverlys' also have an enchanted apple tree. Eating an apple from the tree will show you the most important event of your life.
Each sister is hiding from something in their life and trying to build a life where they are comfortable with themselves and their past. The characters were truly enjoyable and the touch of magic added depth.
Rating 4 Quick, happy read with some romance.
Rating PG 13, sexual content
