Ratchet the Reluctant Witch

Ratchet the Reluctant Witch by Sara Pascoe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The reason I am giving this book 5 starts is that it is so close to me. I am officially 28 years old now, and I am just begging to understand that I am an adult. I want to be a teenager again, so I could unsay to my parents a lot of the thing I said. On every page of this book I saw myself and I heard the things I said to them and I called them and said that I was sorry, but somehow it feels like too little too late.
This story is amazing. It is as realistic as it is not! It has magic and it has drama and at the same time, it has funny moments, and talking cats and dogs. It is funny and entertaining and it is serious and complex.
I truly believe that this is one of those books that People should read at least two times in their life: as teens and as adults. Moreover this book is definitely going to be on my future child reading list. It can make you laugh and roll in tears and it can make you smile in appreciation.
I believe that this book should be read from mothers too, so that they can remember what to be a confused teenager is.
My deepest respect and gratefulness to Sara Pascoe for Ratchet and her world.
