I WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE ROMANCE

Sale Price: $11.00 Original Price: $19.99

Fifteen-year-old Fancy Augustine’s vibe check is super simple. She’d literally give anything to trade her oversized chest for a perky aesthetic, secure a main character romance, and get a solid RSVP to the absolute social event of the year: Imani Park’s birthday party. So when Fancy finds out her ride-or-die, Tilly, got the golden ticket and has a low-key secret boyfriend, she is fully spiraling—and dead-set on doing whatever it takes to manifest her own happily ever after.

So what if she makes a Faustian deal with the ultimate mean girl (Imani) for an invite, on the strict condition that she brings a date? And honestly, what’s the harm in gaslighting her crush, Rahim, into thinking she can whip up a custom voodoo potion for him if he agrees to fake-date her for the grid? Sure, her friendship with Tilly is officially in its flop era and her grades are in a total dumpster fire, but Fancy is convinced the clout will make it all worth it in the end.

Besides, it’s not like her parents would actually follow through on sending her back to Haiti... right? That would be a complete plot twist.
