When your dating app’s haunted, true love’s your only tech support

Mara Foldes has officially swiped left on love. A Brooklyn copywriter with more bad dates than tax deductions, she’s sarcastic, caffeinated, and thoroughly done with modern romance, until she insults the wrong woman at a speed-dating event.

Turns out “Grizzy,” the quirky matchmaker with too many rings and opinions, is actually Griselda, a four-hundred-year-old witch who curses Mara’s dating app with a spell from hell: sixteen first dates, each one a full-blown fairy tale that resets at midnight. Cinderella’s gown made of takeout receipts? Check. Rapunzel’s thirty-foot hair stuck in a rooftop bar fan? Also check.

The only person immune to the magic is Finn Calder, the grumpy barista who’s been silently judging her latte order for months. Together, they navigate a blur of enchanted disasters, crypto bros who turn into wolves, princes with podcast egos, and one terrifyingly honest kiss that might break the curse for good.

With her best friend’s viral podcast turning her life into clickbait and her witchy cousin burning sage over her phone, Mara has to figure out if love is a spell worth breaking, or a story worth owning.

Because if she can’t find her true love by the sixteenth tale, she’ll be erased from reality forever.

And honestly, that would really mess with her caffeine schedule.
