I really enjoyed the concept of this book. Whenever you hear about cupids, it’s usually a little cherub shooting arrows, or an adult engineering chance encounters and meet cutes. Having a teen cupid, going through normal teen-age angst, is a refreshing new twist.

I don’t want to give spoilers away with this review, so I’m going to try to keep things pretty vague.

I loved the characters, especially Jude, and having the entire story told from their point of view was perfect. Especially since Jude feels everything, and feels it deeply. He makes a great cupid because he cares so much, but I also think that he is so deserving of being a human. The fact that he has to miss out on so much because of his cupid-ness is heartbreaking.

On the human side, Huy and Alice are both complicated. They are more reserved with their feelings, because they were both hurt and confused in the past. Once they get to know Jude (and repair their own past issues), they really open up and become great friends. Neve is perfect as the bridge between everyone.

Then there’s the cupids; Richard is mentioned frequently, but is really only in one scene. I didn’t really like him that much. Leah was more present and supported Jude to an extent, but there were times I felt that she kept them from being truly happy. That leaves Cal, I have mixed feelings about him. I figured out his motives pretty early in the story, and as things progressed, I could see him working towards his own interests. I do suspect that Cal redeemed himself in the end, but that isn’t confirmed.

I was so rooting for Jude through the entire story, and I really wanted them to get their happy ending. The ending of the book is very open-ended, which part of me likes, because I can take the story anywhere I want in my head. But another part of me really wants a solid resolution, and we don’t get one. So I choose to believe that Jude gets to spend their life with their true soul mate.
