![]() ![]() While Franny, Jet, and Vincent fight their mother and rebel against the normal life she wants for them, everything that Sally wants is to be normal, and she denies who she is and lies to herself in order to achieve that sense of normalcy. This prequel to Practical Magic, of which there are two, is all about finding out who you are, accepting who you are, and loving yourself for it. This book is the complete opposite of The Rules of Magic (Read my review here). Gillian is no better, in my opinion and Sally’s daughters, Antonia and Kylie, are just not my favorite of the bunch. Maybe it was that I couldn’t help comparing the protagonists in this book to their counterparts in the movie, but, oh my God, I couldn’t stand Sally. It is one of those rare cases where the movie is so much better than the book. This book, unfortunately, was a miss for me. Practical Magic is one of those books that I wanted to love, because I watched the movie and loved it so much, but I just couldn’t. Today I’m trying to catch up on my reviews and will be reviewing Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman. ![]()
