Book Synopsis

You Should See Me in a Crown meets Black girl magic--literally--in this enchanting rom-com about a reluctant witch caught up in a faking dating scheme.

Witches and humans have always had issues.

Cayden is well aware of that: her witch mom was shunned by her high-society parents when she fell in love with Cayden's human dad. Now, the family business is in trouble due to wealthy witches gentrifying her historic Texas neighborhood. So Cayden is appalled when she realizes she unknowingly went on a date with Coven it-boy Khy Carter. But when her father's bakery has an influx of new customers, she realizes Khy might just be a solution to her family's problems: Cayden absolutely cannot be with a Coven boy, but that doesn't mean she can't pretend to be.

Suddenly, Cayden is thrown into the Coven system she grew up despising, but it turns out embracing the witchy side of herself is actually...fun. As she spends more time with Khy, their fake dating starts to feel like real feelings. And even though she's doing this for her family, Cayden knows she's also betraying them. Her parents may have put love before everything else, but is Cayden willing to do the same?
