This one has it all—magic, a non-binary love story, and an unconventional mystery. When Maeve accidentally wishes her best friend out of existence using a pack of magic Tarot cards, she must team up with her friend's sibling to find her. But that's not the only mystery. Why are these cards magic in the first place? And why can Maeve suddenly see into people's minds? This is the coziest, weirdest mystery I have ever read, and I wish I could climb inside it with a blanket and a cup of tea.
