This Spells Love - by Kate Robb (Paperback)

About the Book

"When Gemma Wilde gets dumped by her very practical long-term boyfriend, she reacts the way any twenty-eight-year-old would: by getting drunk with her sister, kooky aunt, and best friend, Dax, and performing a love cleanse to forget all about him. Sure, it sounds a little crazy, but nothing else has worked, so why not try it? They follow the spell, complete with an absolutely platonic kiss from Dax to seal the deal, and Gemma falls asleep in a margarita haze, thinking nothing of it. But when she wakes up, she realizes that this silly spell has worked. Not only has she never met her ex, but her life looks completely different. And Dax has no idea who she is either. To return home, Gemma must convince Dax to become best friends with her before the next full moon. That's a month away. But as finds herself falling for him, Gemma begins to wonder whether she even wants to go back to the way things were"--

Book Synopsis

What if one little wish changed everything?

A young woman tries to heal her heartbreak by casting a spell to erase her ex from her past, but she wakes up in an alternate reality where she's lost more than she wished for in this witty, whimsical friends-to-lovers debut.

When Gemma gets dumped by her long-term boyfriend, she reacts the way any reasonable twenty-eight-year-old would: by getting drunk with her sister, kooky aunt, and best friend, Dax. After one too many margaritas, they decide to perform a love- cleansing spell, which promises to erase Gemma's ex from her memory. They follow all the instructions, including a platonic kiss from Dax to seal the deal.

When Gemma wakes up, she realizes that this silly spell has worked. Not only does it seem that she never dated her ex, but the rest of her life is completely unrecognizable. The worst part: Dax has no idea who she is.

To reverse the spell and get back to her old life, Gemma must convince her once-best-friend-now-near-stranger to kiss her. But as she carries out her plans, she finds herself falling for him--hard. Soon, Gemma begins to wonder whether she even wants to go back to the way things once were. What if Dax was The One all along?

About the Author

Kate Robb dated a lot of duds in her twenties (amongst a few gems) all providing excellent fodder to write weird and wild romantic comedies. She lives just outside of Toronto, Canada where she spends her free time pretending she's not a hockey mom while whispering "hustle" under her breath from the bleachers, a Pinot Grigio concealed in her YETI mug. She hates owls, the word "whilst" and wearing shorts and aspires to one day be able to wear four-inch heels again.
