YA
Markos's best friend, Win, has died. Win's girlfriend, Ari, gets a spell to erase Win's memory--a spell that has unwanted side effects when mixed with friend Kay's secret spell, cast to keep Ari close. Unlikable characters deal with grief and consequences of wishes in this surprisingly prepossessing not-quite-fantasy novel; an unresolved and moderately depressing ending is grounded in realism.
