Emma has left her stepfather after he involved her in a car accident because he was driving drunk and come to live with her godmother in New York. She is going to a posh new school with lots of elite students. She is hit on by Anthony, a blond BMOC wannabe, who gives her the creeps and makes an enemy of Kristin, of the fake orange tan, who wants all the boys to like her best. Emma wants to be anonymous and just slide by but one look at Brendan changes everything. Their eyes meet and it is like they have know each other forever. But the course of true love hits the rapids of ancient curses and contemporary jealousy and psychopaths before they find their way to a happy ending. This was an entertaining young adult book that will appeal to romantics and lovers of the paranormal. I love Emma's snarkiness and her resilience.
