Publisher Description
A cozy sapphic romantasy about a teen witch trying to keep her family’s apothecary up and running, with a little help from her ex-best friend—and first crush.
“Brewed with Love will charm readers with its magic potions, quirky town, sweet romance, and witchy vibes.” —F.T. Lukens, New York Times bestselling author of Otherworldly
Plant witch Sage Bishop intends to run her family’s apothecary one day. The doors just have to stay open until she can take over from her nana. That’s why she spends all her time perfecting a tonic that’ll put Bishop Brews on the map.
She certainly doesn’t need their latest hire—and her ex–best friend—Ximena Reyes causing any distractions. Alas, at the first sight of Ximena’s cheeky smile, Sage flees the shop, allowing someone to break into Bishop Brews and steal the tonic she’s been tinkering with, one that wipes their high school cheer captain’s memory.
With Bishop Brews now at risk of being shut down, Sage reluctantly partners with Ximena to find the culprit. As the mystery deepens, so do pesky old feelings. Their first kiss and Ximena’s subsequent ghosting keep replaying in Sage’s mind. Will she be able to resist Ximena’s charm, or will she let it work its magic for a second chance at love?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Determined to run her family's old apothecary one day, Black plant witch Sage Bishop spends her time trying to invent the perfect tonic to put Bishop Brews on the map. When competitors start drawing away customers, however, her plans for the future turn into immediate concerns about the store's financial stability. A poorly timed and unwelcome distraction arrives after her nana hires Latinx-cued Ximena Reyes, Sage's former best friend and first crush. Then someone breaks into Bishop Brews and steals several tonics, including the one Sage has been working tirelessly on—which is then used to wipe the memory of a council member's child. To avoid being shut down by the sheriff, Sage and Ximena launch an investigation, all the while falling for each other all over again. Page eschews harsh magical creature stereotypes and mixes conversational banter with a cast of relatable and quirky characters to brew a high school sapphic novel with a warm, lighthearted center. Readers will be loath to leave Sage and Ximena's cozy, close-knit town. Ages 12–up.
