I do love a witchy romance. Here, we have Jessica, a non-hereditary witch trying to do good in her part of the world getting people into fabulous fashion (she has a clothing store). Then one day witch Derrick comes into her life, telling her she's the Chosen One and all of a sudden she's mentoring a teenage couple, dealing with her childhood nemesis, and seducing Derrick all while saving her town from being wiped out.

Not having read Cabot before, I really enjoyed the world she created. Jessica's friends are absolute delights and Jessica herself is an interesting heroine. I loved hanging out with her. I'm guessing the next book has to do with her brother so I'm looking forward to it. ( )

Requested from NetGalley 7/10/2023. Meg Cabot is a favorite author and I look forward to reading and reviewing this new book.

Description
A witchy rom-com from New York Times bestseller Meg Cabot about a plus size witch who must team up with a handsome stranger to help protect her village from an otherworldly force—but will she be able to protect her heart?

It’s Magic When You Meet Your Match

In her teenage years, lovelorn Jessica Gold cast a spell that went disastrously wrong, and brought her all the wrong kind of attention—as well as a lifetime ban from the World Council of Witches.

So no one is more surprised than Jess when, fifteen years later, tall, handsome WCW member Derrick Winters shows up in her quaint little village of West Harbor and claims that Jess is the Chosen One.

She’s the Chosen One

Not chosen by West Harbor’s snobby elite to style them for the town’s tricentennial ball—though Jess owns the chicest clothing boutique in town. And not chosen finally to be on the WCW, either—not that Jess would have said yes, anyway, since she’s done with any organization that tries to dictate what makes a “true” witch.

No, Jess has been chosen to help save West Harbor itself . . .

As Summer Ends, Her Power Grows

But just when Jess is beginning to think that she and Derrick might have a certain magic of their own—and not of the supernatural variety—Jess learns he may not be who she thought he was.

And suddenly Jess finds herself having to make another kind of choice: trust Derrick and work with him to combat the sinister force battling to bring down West Harbor, or use her gift as she always has: to keep herself, and her heart, safe.

Can she work her magic in time? ( )
