Love, Lies, and Hocus Pocus: Beginnings

I quickly decided I didn't like the main character. She is on a date and decides to bail because he wanted to talk about things he was interested in like grunge music ( this is written to make it clear that this is a dumb thing to be interested in) and role playing games (even dumber) and not important things like books. Not a specific genre, just books in general. Maybe she had strong opinions on binding techniques.
I didn't find the magic system very interesting either.
So I abandoned the book and moved on to something else.
