Felicity’s no ordinary teen matchmaker…she’s a cupid!
Felicity Walker believes in true love. That’s why she applies for a gig at the matchmaking company Cupid’s Hollow. But when Felicity gets the job, she learns that she isn’t just a matchmaker…she’s a cupid! (There’s more than one of them, you know.)

Armed with a hot pink, tricked-out PDA infused with the latest in cupid magic (love arrows shot through email), Felicity works to meet her quota of successful matches. But when she bends the rules of cupidity by matching her best friend Maya with three different boys at once, disaster strikes. Felicity needs to come up with a plan to set it all right, pronto, before she gets fired?and before Maya ends up with her heart split in three.

This book is too cute! All while being hilarious and totally original. I also must make a comment on the cover now – isn’t it absolutely adorable? I lurve it! Rhonda Stapleton definately put a new view of “cupids” out there. I really liked how a big part of the book was focused on Maya’s romance, while leaving Felicty hoping for a romance of her own.

I loved the characters. They were all so fresh. Felicity, Maya and Andy were all different from each other, but you could tell the bonds of friendship that would hold them together. I also liked that Rhonda Stapleton didn’t really use a lot of stereotypical characters.

The book was filled with so many laugh-out-loud moments! Some character was always getting into something. Poor Felicity, there was no end to her mother embarassing her. Gosh was it funny, but I would have dropped dead on the spot in a few of those situations!

I cannot wait to see where this series goes with books 2 and 3. I don’t know where that will be, but I’m sure it’ll be fabulous!
