Our Cursed Love

byJulie Abe

Julie Abe's OUR CURSED LOVE is a magical 50 FIRST DATES meets LOVE AND GELATO set in Tokyo, Japan—about destiny, the impact of the choices we make, and the magic of true love. Six days to remember. Love or lose him forever. Remy Kobata has always wished she was destined to be with her best friend, Cam Yasuda. All the way from being neighbors from birth to mixing up magical prank potions together to their “just friends” homecoming date during their senior year in high school, nothing’s a secret between Remy and Cam—except for how much she is in love with him. Remy is trying to work up the courage to confess her feelings during their winter break trip to Japan, when she gets selected for a mystical tea leaves reading and it reveals that they’re not meant to be together. After they stumble upon a secret magical apothecary in the back alleys of Tokyo, Remy and Cam are offered an ancient soulmate elixir, created before all love potions were banned by the magical government. They each have their reasons for wanting to take it, but what could go wrong with finding your soulmate a little earlier? Except, after they drink up, their senior year trip flips into the worst vacation ever: Cam has forgotten who Remy is. If she can't help Cam remember her by midnight New Year’s Eve, they’ll both be cursed to forget each other. To unravel their past and rewrite the future, Remy and Cam must travel through Tokyo to rediscover Cam’s memories and make new ones—and maybe even fall in love all over again. A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books.

So many listeners just can’t get enough of young adult (often abbreviated as YA) audiobooks, adoring them for the often extraordinary and engaging storylines, vivid characters, and engrossing plots, no matter their age. The young adult genre is fiction written, published, and marketed to teens and young adults, aged roughly 13 to 18. Young adult audiobooks, whether novels or short stories, have distinct qualities that distinguish them from fiction created for other age groups. Adolescence is the primary focus of nearly all YA novels. Young adult stories can be found in a wide variety of genres, but the main character's age and experience tend to influence the content and storylines. Some of the most popular New York Times bestselling YA titles include The Hunger Games trilogy, The Hate U Give, and To All the Boys I loved Before. Some are romance, some are action and adventure, some are fantasy, and some are many other diverse subgenres. ‘Coming-of-age novels’ are a common descriptor for YA stories because of their focus on adolescence's trials and tribulations. YA stories can be written in a variety of styles, from literary to simple and direct.
