A talented witch competes for a prestigious scholarship at her cutthroat high school in this contemporary YA fantasy for fans of Never Have I Ever and Sabrina the Teen Witch. Now in paperback! Magically brilliant, academically perfect, chronically overcommitted-- Shay Johnson has all the makings of a successful witch. As a junior at T.K. Anderson Magical Magnet School, she's determined to win the Brockton Scholarship--her ticket into the university of her dreams. Her competition? Ana freaking �lvarez. The key to victory? Impressing Mr. B, drama teacher and head of the scholarship committee. When Mr. B asks Shay to star in this year's aggressively inclusive musical , she warily agrees, even though she'll have to put up with Ana playing the other lead. But in rehearsals, Shay realizes Ana is . . . not the despicable witch she'd thought. Perhaps she could be a friend--or more. And Shay could use someone in her corner once she becomes the target of Mr. B's unwanted attention. When Shay learns she's not the first witch to experience his inappropriate behavior, she must decide if she'll come forward. But how can she speak out when her future's on the line?

Shay, a teenage witch, competes for a scholarship that will allow her to attend the college of her dreams -- one that she couldn't afford otherwise. When asked to star in the school's musical, Shay feels pressured to say yes because the director is on the scholarship committee. Once rehearsals begin, Shay starts to experience unwanted behaviors from him. Can she put a stop to it without jeopardizing her scholarship hopes?
HOW TO SUCCEED IN WITCHCRAFT was a great YA fantasy read filled with fantastic social commentary. Brophy created a high school world with realistic issues that teens experience and weaved in the magic of the characters being witches with the added witch-related problems they face. It was the perfect level of fantasy and romance. I liked the dynamics between the characters who were either love-to-love-them or love-to-hate-them. The setting of musical theater wasn't over-the-top which was nice. I'm not a fan of theater themes where the drama of the theater just overwhelms everything else and is essentially a main character. A lot of heavy topics were addressed in this book and even though so much was going on, it worked well. Brophy writes in a way that invites the reader to have empathy for the characters even if they can't personally identify with the same struggles. She's hit the mark with this book for the YA audience, though it will still be appealing to some adult readers.
HOW TO SUCCEED IN WITCHCRAFT is recommended for fans of YA fantasy, rivals-to-lovers romance, sapphic romance, queer rep, or witchy books. I really enjoyed this debut and will keep an eye out for future works by Aislinn Brophy.
Thank you to G.P. Putnam's Sons for the finished copy.
