Sarah M. writes a lot of chick lit. I have always been opposed to chick lit. I am not sure why, but I know it started with Bridget Jones Diary. Not that I read it or anything. Not that I ever saw the movie. But the previews and the talk about it, all of it, was a serious turn off for me. Many laughs in this book. I love how shallow Rachel is. Miri, her little sister, is a witch and really set on righting all of the world's wrongs with her magic powers. Rachel just wants Miri to help her find love and have great dress for the prom.
Here's an example:
She whips out her notebook. "Worrying about things more important that prom. Like ridding the world of land mines, number three on my list, and slave trafficking, number four. Fixing the ozone layer, number five. And there was an oil spill this morning off the coast of France. Do you know how many whales are going to die?" She makes an arrow in her notebook. "The oil just got bumped up to number three."
I squirm in my seat. "Okay. I'm sorry. Sounds serious."
She shakes her head and I notice the heavy circles under her eyes. "Life is serious," she says, and sighs, then returns to reading, leaving me staring at my hands.
I could so use a manicure.
Love it! Love Rachel!
I do love Miri, too, though...she has a very good heart.
Rachel and Miri find that their mom is back to using magic as well. This time to find men.
Great book, very funny! Makes you want to have magical powers...but not really.....
