THE UNFORTUNATE SIDE EFFECTS OF HEARTBREAK AND MAGIC

Laura Horowitz brings a charming narration to the small-town life of Sadie Revelare. Sadie wants nothing more than to bake, garden, and practice helpful magic for the people she loves, but too much abandonment has left her heartbroken. The letdowns continue with the return of her ex, Jake, and her twin, Seth, which coincides with her grandmother's dire medical diagnosis. At the same time, dark magic from her past comes back to haunt her. Horowitz gives Sadie a gentle yet sorrowful delivery and smoothly shifts to the grandmother's tough-as-old-boots tone and gravelly timbre. Horowitz matches the script, making the characters sound groggy or passionate when called for, and providing distinct voices for the many characters.
