Summary:
Magic realism mixes with romantic comedy in this new novel from Sarah Belle about the dangers of internet shopping – and using magic to solve real world problems.
Lou’s life is perfect. She loves her job, her renovated house, and most of all, her gorgeous fiancé, Aidan. But when her old flame and Aidan’s school yard nemesis turn out to be the same person, Hunter Wincott, Lou’s life is blown apart. She must divulge her secret past, or have Hunter give it away. Either way, she runs the real risk of losing Aidan.
In desperation, she turns to Google. A quick search turns up Majique, the Internet Witch, and a spell that will delete herself from Hunter’s memory. But something goes wrong in the casting process, and Lou deletes much more than just a memory. She deletes herself from her life completely.
Luckily, there’s a one-week window for Lou to get back to the life she loved. One week to win back Aidan, before he walks down the aisle with the wrong woman, and damns everyone to a lifetime of misery. It would be easy, if only Aidan had any idea who Lou actually is.
Review:
This book just makes me want to say one word, a bunch of times: Yes, Yes, Yes! I loved it! This book is so my personality and spot-on what I love to read. I’m determined to one day write a book just like this, and I will most definitely be reading this again whenever that day comes. I love a sprinkle of magic in my books – not a full-fledged other world or people with powers, but just a small dose of stretching the imagination. What I probably loved most was that I had no idea how this was going to end up and I couldn’t stop reading until I found out. A new one of the Favorites list!
