If you loved the small-town intimacy and the intricate dynamics between the Waverley sisters, you'll be drawn to Practical Magic. The Owens sisters, Gillian and Sally, navigate family curses, magic that’s woven into everyday life, and the bonds that hold them together, all in a gentle, enchanting atmosphere.

If you were charmed by the subtle, whimsical magic of Claire Waverley’s enchanted garden, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake offers a similarly enchanting experience. Here, Rose Edelstein discovers she can taste emotions in food, and the magical realism is both wondrous and quietly haunting, suffusing the ordinary with a sense of the extraordinary.

If the warm, uplifting spirit and gentle magic of Garden Spells spoke to you, The House at the End of Hope Street is a delight. This novel welcomes lost women into a magical house that knows exactly what they need for healing, offering comfort, second chances, and a sense of belonging that echoes the hopeful heart of the Waverley home.

If you appreciated the gradual, transformative journeys of Sydney and Claire in Garden Spells, The Enchanted April will resonate. Four women, each seeking solace, undergo personal renewal in an Italian villa, their relationships and inner lives blossoming as the story unfolds at a gentle, satisfying pace.

If the emotional payoff of Sydney’s return and the healing of family wounds in Garden Spells moved you, The Sugar Queen—also by Sarah Addison Allen—delivers a similarly satisfying emotional journey. Josey Cirrini’s transformation, sparked by mysterious visitors and magical happenings, culminates in a heartwarming, cathartic resolution.
