About this Series
In the town of Grimbaud, love is in the air…and on the ground and meddling directly in your life. Whether it’s getting a (100% accurate!) love fortune from Zita’s famous Love Charms Shop, fighting rogue charms, or getting a giftwrapped boyfriend from Love itself, Grimbaud is the place to be when looking for romantic adventures.
Kimberly Karalius weaves together a cute and quirky twist of tales that show love from various perspectives, from the determined Fallon in Love Fortunes and Other Disasters, who wants to prove that she can indeed fall in love, to the anxious Nico in First Kisses and Other Misfortunes, who’s all about overcoming obstacles to ensure a glorious first kiss, to Love Charms and other Catastrophes’ aspiring Hijiri, who only wants to help others find love, all the while unwrapping her own love story -literally.
