“The thing is, my luck’s always been rotten” is a sad but true quote that follows the protagonist through their life.

This book follows the unfortunate life of a girl named Jean more known as “Jinx” She escaped from her home state, Iowa, to live in the big city of New York with her aunt, uncle, and cousins. During her stay in New York, she finds new possibilities, friends, and a lover. The main conflict of this book is that she finds a dangerous secret hidden from her that only her cousin, Tory, knows about. Tory wants to use this secret for the worse, which can put danger on everyone around her, so Jinx is trying to figure out a way to stop her; in hopes of getting rid of her bad luck.

This book gave off a sense of reality mixed in with the world of fantasy. The characters also felt realistic and the author didn’t write them off as just good people in high school because we know that isn’t true. For example the main characters Jinx and Tory. Jinx is a relatively quiet character who is scared of doing anything because she thinks her bad luck will mess her up. And Tory is like many teenagers who are snobby, rude, and a party animal that wants to do everything while she is still young.

The theme of this book is even if you might think that bad luck always follows you, you can do good things to change it. Ever since she was born, Jinx had always had a source of bad luck following her. Whether it was from a stalker trying to get her or having bad luck on the people around her. For example, Zach was almost ready to be squashed by a vehicle, when JInx quickly saved him from disaster. This impacted Jinx because now she thought she could be more helpful even though her bad luck might get in the way.

I recommend the novel, “Jinx” by Meg Cabot because the characters have notable character development, a subtle romance, and a witchy twist. However, the book felt a little rushed. So, if you like novels about a girl trying to get over her fear of bad luck then this novel is for you. ( )

6/10, I was hoping that after I read the quite sad story that was Towers Falling by Jewell Parker Rhodes I would enjoy this interesting "fantasy" novel however I did not enjoy it at all and I'm surprised this is even considered fantasy and the library has decided to keep this book for now even though it's more than a decade old now and I had problems with this so where do I even begin. It starts off with the main character Jean Honeychurch living her normal life when she discovers that she's a witch, now you think that it would play a major role in the plot and it does at times but most of the time it really isn't integral to that however I read on to see if the story gets any better however it didn't. She just continues living her life and nothing much happens in the middle of the book and that really slowed its pacing down which I didn't like as well as the writing style, it got the job done but I would've liked it if it had more detail but at least it explained how Jean is a witch since she is related to a witch family but there was another witch antagonist that was in the background most of the time and she was only revealed towards the very end of the book. In the last half Jean goes to a ball wearing a black backless spaghetti strap dress for some reason and after that she fights the antagonist and she wins and that's the end of the book. If you like paranormal stories pick this but there are better ones like Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. ( )

Cute, but a little frustrating that the main character is so unable to figure out that the boy she loves does really love her back. A little too blind for me. ( )
