#211 - The Charmed List by Julie Abe

On this episode, we discuss our February 2023 pick, The Charmed List by Julie Abe, a YA romantic comedy about a teen wallflower (who happens to be part of the magical community of Palo Alto) who wants to break out of her shell by taking an epic summer road trip with her bff, but ends up being forced to take that trip with her ex-best friend/boy next door instead. The best part is, this book includes a special cameo from Books & Boba (thanks Julie)!
