Descripción editorial
Julie Abe's OUR CURSED LOVE is a magical 50 FIRST DATES meets LOVE AND GELATO set in Tokyo, Japan—about destiny, the impact of the choices we make, and the magic of true love.
Six days to remember.
Love or lose him forever.
Remy Kobata has always wished she was destined to be with her best friend, Cam Yasuda. All the way from being neighbors from birth to mixing up magical prank potions together to their “just friends” homecoming date during their senior year in high school, nothing’s a secret between Remy and Cam—except for how much she is in love with him.
Remy is trying to work up the courage to confess her feelings during their winter break trip to Japan, when she gets selected for a mystical tea leaves reading and it reveals that they’re not meant to be together. After they stumble upon a secret magical apothecary in the back alleys of Tokyo, Remy and Cam are offered an ancient soulmate elixir, created before all love potions were banned by the magical government. They each have their reasons for wanting to take it, but what could go wrong with finding your soulmate a little earlier?
Except, after they drink up, their senior year trip flips into the worst vacation ever: Cam has forgotten who Remy is. If she can't help Cam remember her by midnight New Year’s Eve, they’ll both be cursed to forget each other. To unravel their past and rewrite the future, Remy and Cam must travel through Tokyo to rediscover Cam’s memories and make new ones—and maybe even fall in love all over again.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Abe (The Charmed List) spins a gentle love story set against the backdrop of wintry Japan in this cozy fantasy romance. When Japanese American high school seniors and best friends Cam Yasuda and Remy Kobata arrive in Japan, their plan is to tour Tokyo Magical University, visit their older siblings, and enjoy everything that the "magically-aware" side of Japan has to offer. Remy and Cam are also grappling with how to navigate their secret amorous feelings for each other. When they're offered the opportunity to try a rare, illegal soulmate-finding potion, they impulsively imbibe the enchanted concoction. But rather than discovering who they're each destined to love, Cam instead suddenly loses all his memories of Remy, and Remy learns that she doesn't have a soulmate, leaving them with less than a week to undo Cam's affliction before it becomes permanent. The pair resolve to recreate shared memories in a race against time, an endeavor that leads them to various beautiful, delicious, and fantastical corners of Tokyo. Despite the high stakes, this love story remains as light and sweet as the desserts detailed on Remy and Cam's adventures; introspective flashbacks during their friendship round out their relationship and the surrounding magical world. Ages 12–up.
