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.
