This kind of ‘love potion’ storyline would usuallly be a premise in a romance - I loved the twist on this by making it a friendship storyline instead!.The story centres on the unique premise of the protagonist Jolina using a gayuma (love potion) on another girl, Claudine, when she can’t take the way Claudine’s been taunting her and making her feel like an outsider any longer.My thoughts: The unique plot: a love potion for a mean girl/rival!
Magic and reality mingle in this brilliant new middle-grade novel about true friendship that asks whether it’s ever okay to take away someone’s free will. The magic demands payment, and it is about to come for Jolina in the form of a terrible storm… Controlling another person’s ability to love-or hate-will certainly have consequences. In fact, Claudine doesn’t just stop bullying Jolina-now she wants to be Jolina’s BFF, and does everything and anything Jolina asks.īut magic comes with a cost, and bad intentions beget bad returns. There she creates a batch of gayuma, a powerful love potion.Īnd it works! The love potion conquers Claudine’s hateful nature. Though Jolina is still learning her grandfather’s arbularyo magic and isn’t supposed to use any on her own, she sneaks into his potions lab to get her revenge. Jolina can’t take Claudine’s bullying any longer!
