"Like Magic" follows the whirlwind romance of Liam, a reserved artist, and Aria, a free-spirited writer, whose electric first encounter sparks a love that burns bright but falters under distance and doubt. When Aria moves to Chicago for her dream job, their relationship fractures-until a chance reunion at Liam's art show reignites what they lost. Now, they must choose: cling to past mistakes or build something stronger. With lyrical prose and raw emotion, this 10-chapter novella captures love's messy, magical resilience-how it bends, breaks, and sometimes, against all odds, finds its way back. Perfect for fans of Normal People and One Day.
