Practical Rules for Cursed Witches

“Part cozy romance, part coming-of-age adventure (with airships!), Practical Rules for Cursed Witches is a whimsical delight. Cottingham skillfully weaves a fresh take on the found family story, anchored by the strong, immensely relatable Delilah and set against the backdrop of a Ghibli-esque fantasy world I longed to escape to. Highly recommended!“—Heather Fawcett, New York Times bestselling author of the Emily Wilde series“A big-hearted road trip bursting with charm, humor, and whimsical magic.

T. Lukens, New York Times bestselling author of So This Is Ever After”A magical journey sure to delight lovers of love.“ —Kirkus Reviews“Cottingham expertly conjures a story of found family and generational trauma with a charming queer romance at the center, while building an immersive, cozy cottagecore atmosphere.“ —Publishers Weekly”Part cozy fantasy, part mystery adventure, [Cottingham]….captures what it is like to be a young adult awkwardly setting out in the world, the moments when teens realize their parents aren’t perfect, and the fragility of finding love in uncertain times.“ —School Library Journal“Sapphic romantasy lovers will fall for this cozy fantasy world.” —Booklist
