""Enchanting, flirty, and crafted from pure practical magic!"-Julian Winters, award-winning author of Right Where I Left You
The occasionally magic, always superstitious town of Prior's End is famous for three things: whimsical charm at the annual Fall Festival,
the legend of the wishing well hidden in a forest bristling with secrets, and Nova Marwood's missing hiker father.
Every year without him, it gets easier to pretend Nova doesn't believe in myth and magic. Easier to pretend she's doing okay. Easier to pretend she doesn't have a secret crush on the girl she fake-hates.
Kiara Mistry is the luckiest girl in town and the thief of every crush Nova had her heart set on first. In theory, Nova should resent Kiara. But it's getting harder to deny her feelings.
When Nova lays an unintended hex on Kiara at the Fall Festival, and one misfortune after another swiftly follows, soon Kiara's very survival is at stake. To reverse the bad luck, Kiara's exes turned BFFs commence a quest for the miraculous wishing well. There's only one person who can get them there . . . Nova.
But to save Kiara-and maybe find her dad, too-she'll have to believe in something much stronger than magic. Nova will need to believe in herself."
""If you're a fan of rivals-to-lovers, look no further!"-Aiden Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Cemetery Boys
Heated competition leads to even hotter romance in this YA summer rom-com for fans of Sandhya Menon and Emma Lord!
Seventeen-year-old, high-achieving Kavya Joshi has always been told she's a little too ambitious, a little too mouthy, and overall just a little too much. In one word: besharam.
So, when her nemesis, Ian Jun, witnesses Kavya's very public breakup with her loser boyfriend on the last day of junior year, she decides to lay low and spend the summer doing what she loves best-working part time playing princess roles for childrens' birthday parties. But her plan is shot when she's cast as Ariel instead of her beloved Belle, and learns that Ian will be her Prince Eric for the summer. [Cue the combative banter.]
Exhausted by Kavya and Ian's years-long feud, their friends hatch a plan to end their rivalry by convincing them to participate in a series of challenges throughout the summer. Kavya is only too eager to finally be declared the winner. But as the competition heats up, so too does the romantic tension, until it escalates from a simmer to a full-on burn."
