In this āsweetly romantic coming-of-age story with fun, magical touchesā (Kirkus Reviews), a girl uses her newfound ability to make people fall in love to sabotage her rival.
Erin Johnsonās thirteenth birthday unfolds like any other day, from her momās quirky and embarrassing choice of outfit to racing her nemesis, Trevor Jin, to the best seat in classāfront row, center. But her gifts this year include something very out of the ordinary: magical powers.
Erin discovers her mysterious father is actually the love god Cupid and sheās inherited his knack for romance. Itās not the most useful ability for an overachiever with lofty academic and extracurricular goalsā¦or is it? Erin desperately wants to be elected president of the Multicultural Leadership Club, and as usual, Trevor is her fiercest competition. Heās never backed down from a challenge before, but if Erin makes him fall in love with her, maybe he'd drop out of the race and let her win.
With her magical pedigree, wrapping Trevor around her finger is a snap, and having him around all the time is a small price to pay for victory. But without their cutthroat rivalry bringing out the worst in each other, Erin realizes Trevor may not be as bad as she thought, and suddenly her first foray into love gets a lot more complicatedā¦
