Description
A witch and a non-magical girl get stuck in a cycle of meet-cutes and breakups in this heart-stopping romantic young adult fantasy. "You'll never read a book quite like this again." --Mark Oshiro, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Into the Light Luna is a powerful witch. Known for her skills and feared for her temper, she's set to preserve her family's legacy by becoming the head of Boston's Witch Council--a job she does not want. Aoife is a non-magical girl. Raised under the lens of her influencer family, she's grown up in the public eye. Now she yearns for privacy--but knows her parents won't oblige. Just when they are at their lowest, Aoife and Luna find each other and start dating. As decreed by magic law, Luna casts a spell that will erase Aoife's memories of their history together if they ever break up. But when Aoife and Luna end things, it's both of them who forget . . . that is, until they meet again, fall for each other, and recover all the memories of their last attempt at dating. So begins the story of two star-crossed lovers who keep finding their way into each other's orbits, even as the universe pulls them apart. When they set out to break the cycle, will they be strangers forever or together at last? "A whirlwind of whimsical romance." --Jas Hammonds, award-winning author of We Deserve Monuments
