Love Spell by Mia Kerick
1.0
Chance César is fabulously gay but is still working out his gender - “being stuck between the grey area between boy and girl”. Although he refuses to visually fade into the background of his rural New Hampshire town, Chance is socially invisible—except when being tormented by familiar bullies. But sparks fly when Chance, Pumpkin Pageant Queen, meets Jasper (Jazz) Donahue, winner of the Pumpkin Carving King contest. And so at a sleepover, Chance and Emily conduct intense, late-night research, and find an online article: “Ten Scientifically Proven Ways to Make a Man Fall in Love With You.” Along with a bonus love spell thrown in for good measure, it becomes the basis of their strategy to capture Jazz’s heart. But will this “no-fail” plan work? Can Chance win over Jazz’s heart?
I wanted to love this book. I love seeing more books about gender and sexuality coming out and the forum for these topics growing, however I honestly just could not get into this book. The narrator (Chance) is flamboyantly gay and in an over the top way and his style was not for me. I couldn’t get past the writing style in order to get into the story itself. While I know a lot of people loved the book, I couldn’t get past the talking style.
