Turning forty isn’t for the faint of heart!
My name’s Florebelle Fairfield.
I thought when you hit this age, your life’s supposed to be sorted out?
Nope! Mine fell apart!
I’ve heard of midlife crises, but a whole magical destiny no one prepared me for?
That requires reinforcements!
Luckily, I have my childhood besties, Star and Amira, a couple of kick-ass witches, who’ve always got my back.
If anyone can help me through this mounting magical mess, it’s them.
Hopefully, they can save my sanity, too.
This isn’t what I signed up for... Can I just skip to forty-one?
