She only wants three things. He isn’t one of them… 

Dumped by her cheating ex, fired from her dream job, about to lose her Clementine Monroe is not having a good day. So when her sisters get her drunk and suggest reviving a childhood ritual called the breakup spell, she doesn’t see the harm in it.
 
But now Clemmie has accidentally ruined a funeral, had her first one-night stand, and she’s stuck with a new job she definitely doesn’t want – spending six weeks alone with the gorgeous and very-off-limits rock star, Theo Eliott. 
 
He’s the most famous man on the planet. Her life’s a disaster. When it comes to love, Clemmie is learning you should be careful what you wish for…

What I think:

This was such a good read!

I love Laura Wood’s YA books, so I was super excited when I heard she had written an adult novel. And it did not disappoint!

Clemmie is such an engaging character. She warm and friendly and love the relationship she has with her half sisters. Her family may be unconventional, but it is warm and loving and accepting.

Her life is a disaster. She has split up with her boyfriend, and her contract is up, leaving her unemployed and a bit lost. With the help of her sisters, Lili and Serena, they cast a ‘spell’ hoping to bring Clemmie true love and hot sex.

After a fabulous one-night stand with gorgeous Teddy, Clemmie is feeling empowers and takes a job looking after world-famous rock star Theo Elliot White he writes his new album.

There is a lot of humour, romance and misunderstanding ahead, but could Theo be the man Clemmie has been wishing for.

This was such an engaging story. I raced though it! The characters are endearing and I was rooting for Clemmie and Theo all the way through.

This is a great read and one of my favourite books of the year.
