too much cheese?

listen, i love the found family trope as much as the next person, and this book delivered just that. but every time the story veered into the romance i found myself cringing a lot because the dialogue was too cheesy for my liking.
i also wish the book touched more on what it's like to be a transracial adoptee living in britain and not having a direct connection to their heritage and culture. it did mention the struggle of being a brown witch in a white-dominated society like britain, but it never went beyond surface level and i really think that's a missed opportunity.
