Meg Cabot is getting pretty good at spitting out chick lit books with a tiny bit of magic. Jinx (or Jean) moves to New York City to get away from a stalker. But we don't find out the whole story until later in the book. Jinx experimented with magic back in Iowa and it still haunts her. Magic runs in her family, and even her cousin Tory believes that they are both destined to be great witches, all because their great-great-great-great-grandmother said so. Jinx isn't sure what to believe. But she knows that she has always had the worst luck. And it continues in NYC. On her first day, she spits her drink on the cutest boy she's ever seen. And she is run over by a bike messenger. Poor Jinx.
I must admit that I wanted to yell in my car--"Get over it already!" Cabot constantly repeats Jinx's self-pity and self-doubt phrases. I wanted to scream! But it turns out to be a decent chick lit book with a little bit of magic--just what a lot of teens like.
