Chapter Summaries & Analyses
The sisters open a Greenwich Village shop full of plant-based cures, including love potions, which they fashion under Aunt Isabelle’s guidance. Jet, harboring a high degree of self-hatred, is still unable to read others’ thoughts. Wishing to lose herself, she goes to a gathering in Central Park and takes a tab of LSD, which she thinks will help her escape her woes. However, her psychedelic trip causes her to have a vision of Levi and to wish for suicide. She plunges into the lake to drown herself, but because she is a witch, she cannot sink. On another occasion, she goes to the Plaza Hotel and rents the room Levi had booked for them, planning to kill herself there. However, a young bellboy, Rafael, begs her not to, saying it would ruin his life. He brings Jet room service, and Jet asks him to pretend to be Levi, just this once. As they make love, Rafael insists on being himself. She confides in him about her family’s love curse. She is attracted to Rafael and tells him that she is glad she is with him. They stay in touch, and he becomes someone she trusts.
