Publisher's Note
When Erin first sees Matt, she knows that he's the one for her. Trouble is, Matt's already got his eye on someone else and thinks of Erin as a little kid. Erin, however, is rather adept at magic, and she's willing to do whatever it takes to make Matt see her as more than a friend, including teaching him some of her precious tricks. And since things aren't going too well at home, Matt's grateful to have a friend like Erin, even if she's not the coolest girl in school. So what if Erin thinks he's hanging around because he's interested? He'll sort that one out later. But when Matt's world starts to fall apart, it seems like Erin and her magic might be his last hope. Only...sometimes it's hard to keep on believing in magic. Especially when no one believes in you. From the author of Shopaholic comes a gripping novel about love, betrayal, and...magic.
