52 {Books} in 52: Bras and Broomsticks

After a string of serious books, I wanted something fun to read. I came across Bras and Broomsticks by Sarah Mlynowski during an Amazon search and I am so happy I did because this book was the epitome of easy, light, and fun to read. The book follows 14-year old Rachel as she discovers her sister is a witch and as she tries to navigate the world of high school. Every time Rachel's sister, Miri, does magic it's a disaster but the consequences are so entertaining so want them to continue their magical attempts.

You will literally breeze through this book. It does get annoying at times because of how much Rachel cares about the A-list and how selfish her motives are for everything but not only is the world made right by the end of the book but you also forgive her when you remember what it was like to be 14 and want to fit in. Rachel is funny and shallow but her experience as a freshman in high school and her desire to fit in makes her endearing. She's not the herione you'd root for but Mlynowski captures the essence of those teenage years and you really can't help but root for her. This book made me thankful to have those dreadful teenage years behind me!
