Joana is a witch who got her dream potion-making job in her dream city, London. She moves and starts to realize how hard it is to be alone in a new country/city where you know nobody, and have very few options to live.
She starts her dream job and realizes how stressful and unfair upper management can be. It sends her spiraling and trying to learn how to handle her "dragons". Her dragons try to destroy her relationships with herself, her boyfriend, and her new friends.
Joana is a character I can empathize with, I also struggle with my own "dragons" and managing them. With a lot of encouragement from her friends, Joana decides to see a "dragon tamer" and learn how to accept herself and express her emotions in healthier ways. The biggest lesson Joana and the reader take out of the book is that to love others, you must love yourself.
The art style is gorgeous and I'll be keeping Lara Pickle on my radar!
