Imagine having a personal cupid--an actual winged  being--pop into your life and offer to make your  dreams come true. The catch is 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. Just one  shot from the cupid's bow and  thownk, A. J. will have the undying devotion of handsome  Peter...forever.

"Full of fabulous and somewhat flamoyant characters, witty dialogue and memorable scenes... Bauer's best yet." -- SLJ, starred review, on Rules of the Road

"Rich with engaging characters, a light love interest, and dramatic tension in a well-paced plot, this is another great read from Bauer." -- SLJ, on Backwater
