Love Fortunes and Other Disasters
Love Fortunes and Other Disasters

Magical realism meets quirky love fate conundrum.

If the whimsy of enchanting love stories intertwined with the thrills of magical realism appeals to you, "Love Fortunes and Other Disasters" might just be your next favorite read. Kimberly Karalius weaves a tale that is as charming and offbeat as it is thought-provoking, exploring the idea of love as a predetermined destiny vs. a matter of choice. It's a book that could make even skeptics believe in a little magic when it comes to matters of the heart.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

In the tradition of Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic, one girl chooses to change her fortune and her fate by falling in love. Love is real in the town of Grimbaud, and Fallon Dupree has dreamed of attending high school there for years. After all, generations of Duprees have successfully followed the (100% accurate!) love fortunes from Zita’s famous Love Charms Shop to happily marry their high school sweethearts. It’s a tradition. So she is both stunned and devastated when her fortune states that she will NEVER find love. Fortunately, Fallon isn’t the only student with a terrible love fortune, and a rebellion is brewing. Fallon is determined to take control of her own fate—even if it means working with a notorious heartbreaker like Sebastian. Will Fallon and Sebastian be able to overthrow Zita’s tyranny and fall in love?
