But she's smart and damn good at her job, and she keeps going. She wasn't the chosen one - single and solitary in her 40s, she couldn't be less chosen if she tried. Ivy Gamble, PI, protagonist of Sarah Gailey's Magic For Liars, has lived with disappointment for years. Your blemishes and aches and colds and unfulfilled longings will not miraculously fade away as you become the marvelous creature you were always meant to be. The reason you don't fit in socially is not because you're a once-in-a-generation sorcerer. You will not discover powers you never dreamed you had.

You don't get to leave your humdrum life behind and go to the mysterious school where they teach magic.
