3.0

Actually a 3.5. This is a funny book and I liked the message. A.J.(main character) really annoyed me at how much she obsessed over Peter. She reminded me more of those middle school girls who are sure their crush are their soul-mate. Even though I seriously doubt there are many people who have meet their soul mate by age 12 (sorry if I sound cynical). Oddly enough, the reason I actually kinda liked this book was because A.J. was so wrong about everything. A lot of times you see movies and read books that show girls obsessing over boys they are convinced they are in love with when they don't actually know much about them. And then they end up happily ever after! The main character being so wrong usually tends to bother me. Again though, it showed the error of her ways. Showing that it was actually selfish of A.J. to wish for Peter to fall in love with her, as well as a shallow decision on her part. Cupid was also a very good character. Hilarious and brutaly honest with A.J. So, over all a worth while book.
