Brief summaryKristen, Cyndi and Brittany are triplets and witches. Every new school year they play a game called "crushed" where they each pick a boy and blow glitter in their face so that the boys have a crush on the girls. Brittany chooses Zach for Kristen to crush and it ends up changing her life. He responds oddly to the spell and it confuses Kristen. Meanwhile, the girls think a new witch must be in town because someone is after Kristen.What I likedThis was an interesting story. I liked that it was lighter than your typical witch book. Kristen is likeable and Zach is cute. The drama between the sisters is very realistic (if you have a sister then I'm sure you know what I mean!).What I didn't likeThere are a lot of characters so the constant use of names was sometimes overwhelming. *SPOILER ALERT* I'm not sure how Zach didn't realize that Morgan wasn't mentally challenged anymore. There was also an error when Morgan kidnapped Cyndi that distracted me. Zach throws the door open when Cyndi screams and he throws Kristen behind him so Morgan can't hurt her, but then a few paragraphs later he's saying that he needs to make sure Morgan doesn't see him when they go to save Cyndi because they could use the element of surprise (he's supposed to be trapped in his house). Morgan saw him in the previous scene so this didn't make sense to me. *END SPOILER*Brief thoughtsThere wasn't that "feeling" that makes me love a book. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it, but I just didn't feel that spark with this one.
