Homegrown Magic

S.A. Maclean describes the story as 'bewitchingly cozy and deliciously queer,' while Lana Harper calls it 'wildly original and impossibly charming.' Nadia El-Fassi praises it for 'brimming with tender longing and heart.' This charming tale blends cottagecore aesthetics with a queer romantasy, featuring elements like friends-to-lovers romance, found family dynamics, familial rivalries, and the enchanting magic of garden life. The protagonist, Yael, is the sole heir to one of the wealthiest families but feels stifled by expectations and longs for adventure. Concurrently, Margot, a plant witch and tea enthusiast, struggles to sustain her family's greenhouse business after personal losses. When Yael unexpectedly reappears, Margot sees a chance to rekindle their past friendship and assigns them a place in her world. Together, as they harvest strawberries for 'heartbreak jam' and engage in innocent flirtation, they craft a plan to reclaim Margot's stolen inheritance. However, their growing attraction and Yael's scheming parents threaten their fragile alliance. Sarah Beth Durst wishes to reside in Bloomfield, a place teeming with witchy vibes, high fantasy fashion, and Dungeons & Dragons elements. Kimberly Lemming eagerly anticipates the continuation of this lovely queer romance, equating it to sipping tea in a cozy cabin. Riley August emphasizes the homegrown magic that makes the story truly captivating.
