Synopsis

“Enchanting, flirty, and crafted from pure practical magic!”—Julian Winters, award-winning author of Right Where I Left You

The occasionally magic, always superstitious town of Prior’s End is famous for three things: whimsical charm at the annual Fall Festival,
the legend of the wishing well hidden in a forest bristling with secrets, and Nova Marwood’s missing hiker father.

Every year without him, it gets easier to pretend Nova doesn’t believe in myth and magic. Easier to pretend she’s doing okay. Easier to pretend she doesn’t have a secret crush on the girl she fake-hates.

Kiara Mistry is the luckiest girl in town and the thief of every crush Nova had her heart set on first. In theory, Nova should resent Kiara. But it’s getting harder to deny her feelings.

When Nova lays an unintended hex on Kiara at the Fall Festival, and one misfortune after another swiftly follows, soon Kiara’s very survival is at stake. To reverse the bad luck, Kiara’s exes turned BFFs commence a quest for the miraculous wishing well. There’s only one person who can get them there . . . Nova.

But to save Kiara—and maybe find her dad, too—she’ll have to believe in something much stronger than magic. Nova will need to believe in herself.

Goodreads review by Kristin on July 19, 2025

One of the best books I've read this year. An instant five star read. Nova Marwood has spent the last seven years looking for her missing father. Every ounce of magic and wonder she once believed in as a girl is gone. As her mother finally prepares to move on after being stuck in stasis for so long,......more

Goodreads review by The Bookish Elf on July 14, 2025

In the whimsically dark town of Prior's End, where sunset arrives twenty-four minutes early and weather forecasts are perpetually wrong, Lillie Vale crafts a narrative that feels both achingly familiar and refreshingly unique. Hit Me with Your Best Charm is more than just another young adult fantasy......more
