Aspiring love-charm maker Hijiri Kitamura was excited to come back to Grimbaud for her sophomore year—until she learned about the upcoming charm-making competition. She, along with her friends and fellow rebels, had worked too hard to free the town from Zita’s tyrannical love fortunes to allow some other charm maker to move in and take over. The only solution is for Hijiri to win the contest herself.
Unfortunately, that’s easier said than done, especially when Love itself has decided to meddle in Hijiri’s life. Concerned that its favorite charm maker has given up on finding a love of her own, Love delivers a very special gift—the perfect boyfriend, specially crafted just for her...
"When he tried speaking, his voice caught in his throat and he coughed into his fist. Ken looked down at his hands, staring at his palms as if he could see through them. He tried again. This time, his voice was soft but firm."--Love Charms and Other Catastrophes by Kimberly Karalius
Comments: I was really excited to pick up this book since Love Fortunes and Other Disasters was one of my favorite 2015 reads. I've already read Love Charms and Other Catastrophes, but figured I might was well mention it here, as my Friday 56. What are you reading this week?
What a fun weekend read! Hope you are having fun with it! You can check out my Friday Meets on http://marelithalkink.blogspot.co.za/2016/07/friday-meets-08-july-2016.html
