A talented witch competes for a prestigious scholarship at her cutthroat high school in this contemporary YA fantasy for fans of Never Have I Ever and Sabrina the Teen Witch.
Magically brilliant, academically perfect, chronically overcommitted—
Shay Johnson has all the makings of a successful witch. As a junior at T.K. Anderson Magical Magnet School, she’s determined to win the Brockton Scholarship—her ticket into the university of her dreams. Her competition? Ana freaking Álvarez. The key to victory? Impressing Mr. B, drama teacher and head of the scholarship committee.
When Mr. B asks Shay to star in this year’s aggressively inclusive musical, she warily agrees, even though she’ll have to put up with Ana playing the other lead. But in rehearsals, Shay realizes Ana is . . . not the despicable witch she’d thought. Perhaps she could be a friend—or more. And Shay could use someone in her corner once she becomes the target of Mr. B’s unwanted attention. When Shay learns she’s not the first witch to experience his inappropriate behavior, she must decide if she’ll come forward. But how can she speak out when her future’s on the line?

A witch and a non-magical girl get stuck in a cycle of meet-cutes and break-ups in this dazzling young adult fantasy that puts a fresh spin on a time-loop story.
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 regular girl. Raised under the lens of her influencer family, she’s grown up in the public eye, trading beauty as currency. She yearns for privacy—but knows her parents would never oblige.
Aoife and Luna feel lost until they find each other and start dating. As decreed by magic law, Luna casts a spell so that, if they ever break up, Aoife will forget all about her.
Then Aoife and Luna break up. But instead of only Aoife forgetting, they both forget each other . . . until they meet again, are swept off their feet, and recover all memories of their last attempt at dating. So begins a cycle that keeps bringing Aoife and Luna together even as they push each other away. Is magic no match for a love that is fated?
