The characters in Love Fortunes and Other Disasters are incredibly likeable and such fun to have around you. I felt like they were good friends of mine that I couldn't stop rooting for and had my fingers crossed things would work out for them. With a great writing style, this debut novel is definitely something to look forward to in May, and I can't wait to meet the author on her Swoon book tour hitting my store. Light and sweet, this magical adventure is equal parts realistic and whimsy that sucks you right in and makes you believe you're simply missing the magic in your daily life.
In the town of Grimbaud, Love and charms are very real and can change the course of your life forever. Fallon has been dreaming of attending high school in Grimbaud all her life, so she can receive Zita's Love Charm and find the love of her life, just like family members before her. Zita's fortunes are world renowned for their 100% accuracy and Fallon can not wait, things don't quite go as Fallon planned. Upon finding out she will never have love in her life, Fallon is determined to change her fate. Fortunately for her, she isn't the only student to receive a less than appealing fortune, as they band together Fallon find she has to work with disgusting heart breaker Sebastian. Can they defeat the odds and put fate back in people's hands?
Lured in by this appealing plot, I loved every moment of this story and Sebastian is definitely a boy to behold. Fallon is an awesome female character with wit, snark and brains she's just too loveable. I partially wish they were cast a bit older, I understand why they are just 14-15 but they are very mature and clever - a bit more so than 14 year old's I encounter each week. That aside, this story was tons of fun and took me just a few hours to blow right through with plenty of laughs.
