Bryce has liked Paige since they were little but has never had the guts to act on his feelings. Paige is devastated over being dumped by her long-time boyfriend and can’t seem to move on. They’re stuck in a rut, until fate decides to pull them out.
Both Paige and Bryce are talked into seeing a fortune teller at the annual Summer’s End Carnival. Neither of them buys into the mysticism, until the psychic’s predictions start coming true. Now, the most bizarre things are happening and there isn’t a clear explanation. Each of them must figure out if they’re the subject of an elaborate hoax or a bigger plan forged by destiny.

Eric
studied me before throwing his hands in the air. “You’ve wasted your entire
break, Paige. Books, work, and the occasional TV show are not a vacation. I’ve been patient because I know how hard the
breakup was, but it’s time for reality. And reality means getting dressed and
coming to the carnival with us.”

I
shrieked. “I can’t go to the carnival. What if I run into Jason? I’ve spent the
whole summer avoiding him. I won’t blow it on the very last night.”

We lived
in a small northern Texas town—less than four thousand people—and we only had
two schools. The elementary school housed kindergarten through sixth grade, and
the secondary school had seventh through twelfth. The middle and high school
were in separate parts of the building, but for the most part everyone knew
everyone and there was no way to avoid anybody. This meant there was a 100
percent chance I’d have at least one class with Jason.

you can avoid a meltdown tomorrow?”

There
wasn’t a lot to do around here. We had a two-screen movie theater and a
ten-lane bowling alley, both of which were older than dirt and smelled funky.
If you wanted good entertainment, you had to drive over an hour to Amarillo or
Lubbock. The annual Summer’s End Carnival
was lame, but it was something to do. Jason would certainly be there.

“Who

cute, available fish in our tiny pond. You can’t settle on catfish before
you’ve tried trout.”

argued.

Eric

But trout tastes better. Think of what you’d be missing if you only ever ate
catfish.”

Amy
rifled through my closet. “If you want Jason back so bad, then you need to try trout. Lots of
trout—preferably in front of him. Nothing makes a catfish more jealous than a
good-looking trout.” She tossed some clothes at me along with my towel. “Get
out there, look hot, talk to a bunch of guys, and flirt a little.”
