A cupid doll comes to life and offers romantic assistance to A.J., a teenage photographer suffering from unrequited love.

I just didn't like this the way I've liked all Joan Bauer's other books. I liked that AJ was passionate about photography, but I thought the obsession with Peter Terris didn't make sense- the whole thing felt weird. It worked out and she learned and whatever, but again, it felt weird to begin with. ( )

A.J. McCreary is a teen photographer desperately in love with the unattainable Peter Terris. One day she is visited by a real life cupid who offers to make her dreams come true. Because she is a teen girl and without stupid decisions we wouldn't have a story, she immediately asks for Peter to fall in love with her. The whole thing pans out about as well as you'd expect it to, but the really interesting thing about this book is the photography angle. My favorite parts were A.J.'s experiences snapping pictures and developing them. It's easy to forget that photography is just as much an art form as drawing and music, where composition is key. So while the teen romance story was a bit silly and a lot predictable, I still enjoyed this cautionary tale about love and art. I don't know how well it would hold up to a current teenager (I found it very relatable since it takes place in the years I attended high school), but what do I know? ( )

Liked the premise of the story of what happens when you get what you wish for, and it it isn't exactly what you expected? ( )

This was an enjoyable read but definitely not one of my favorites of Bauer's books. I loved A.J.'s passion for her photography and her relationship with her father, but I felt some of the other characters were a little too one-dimensional and not as fully developed as they could have been--especially Peter. It was a good storyline, but again, I don't think it was as fully developed as it might have been. It was a fun read, but this is probably my least favorite of Bauer's books that I've read so far. ( )
