One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is kind of the quintessential magical realism book and it is quite good as well. Oona Out of Order by Margarita Montimore also fits into the genre, is more modern and also excellent.

Ugh! I LOVE Ashley Poston and the romantic magical realism in her stories. So good. We all need a little magic in our lives ✨️

Have you read Sarah Addison Allen? She's southern magical realism light with a dash of romance. Sugar Queen is my favorite, though Garden Spells is I think her more well known book.
