The Magic of Ordinary Days is a compelling novel written by Ann Howard Creel. Set during World War II, the story follows the life of a young woman named Livvy who finds herself in an arranged marriage after a brief affair. Forced to leave her comfortable life in Denver, Livvy moves to a remote farm in Colorado with her new husband Ray. Livvy's new life is far from glamorous. She is surrounded by vast open fields with nothing but the sound of the wind rustling through the crops. However, as Livvy adjusts to her new surroundings, she discovers the magic that can be found in the most ordinary of days.

I could not connect with "The Magic of Ordinary Days" at all. The lead characters were bland and had little chemistry. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult to become emotionally invested in the story. Furthermore, the pacing was incredibly slow, adding to the tediousness of the film. I found myself bored and disinterested throughout. It's safe to say I will not be revisiting this movie.
