Lily Allerton is descended from Thornhaven's most illustrious magical family. When her tarot cards tell her that acquiring a boyfriend is essential for a successful senior year, she decides to do whatever it takes to bag the cute new boy at school—including overcoming her total lack of interest in him. Determined to make her parents proud and stay on top of the popular-kid food chain, future valedictorian Lily makes sure that nothing stands in the way of her goals.

But Chrysanthemum Quinn might.

When Chrys moved to town three years ago, she had high hopes that she'd no longer be the outcast with weird powers—hopes that Lily quickly dashed by ostracizing her from the other witches at school. She was too poor, too grunge, and too sarcastic for Lily's tastes. Since then, she and Lily have despised each other. And if Lily wants the new boy, then Chrys is going to win him first.

But when Lily's and Chrys's attempts to hex each other create a curse that threatens the town, they'll have to put aside their animosity to stop it . . . and reckon with some deeply buried emotions. Because breaking the curse will take more than magic—it'll take acknowledging that it's not the boy either of them wants.
