Description

From the Newbery Honor author of Hope Was Here, comes a delightful story overflowing with funny, stylish writing.

“Bauer’s buoyant narrative will elicit chuckles as it delivers its message (thwonk!) with the accuracy of a well-aimed arrow from Cupid.”—Publishers Weekly
“Bauer's forcefully funny writing remains stylish from start to finish.”—BCCB
“This wacky ride through affairs of the heart never grows predictable!”—Kirkus Reviews

Be careful what you wish for!

Imagine having a personal cupid—an actual winged being—pop into your life and offer to make your dreams come true. There’s one catch. He can help you in only one way: artistically, academically, or romantically. That's what happens to aspiring photographer Allison Jean (A. J.) McCreary. A. J. knows she should concentrate on getting into a top-notch art school, but she's spent five torturous months obsessed with handsome hunk, Peter Terris. And with just one shot from the cupid's bow—thwonk! A. J. will have the undying devotion of handsome Peter . . . forever.
