Felicity needs a job, so when she sees an add for a matchmaking company called Cupid's Hollow, she thinks it might just be the perfect gig. Once hired she learns that not only is she now a matchmaker, she is now a cupid!

Felicity is givin a PDA, one that is magical, it sends emails instead of arrows, the latest cupid technology. But Felicity soon finds out that being a cupid isn't as easy as she thought it would be. She's made her first love match, two kids from school, and it seems to be going well.

Her best friend Maya is a great girl, but a little shy. So Felicity decides to match up Maya, but she wants to give Maya choices, so she matches her to 3 guys that Felicity thinks will be perfect for her. But, she learns quickly that there is a reason for the one match to each person rule. With Maya torn between the 3 guys, Felicity has to try to fix the problem, before something crazy happens to her friend, and before she loses her new job.

This is a really cute YA read that shows that love isn't always as predictible as we would like for it to be. I'm looking forward to the next read in this series, it will be fun to see what kind of trouble Felicity manages to get herself into this time.

This had to be one of the cutest YA books Ive read in a while. Not only does Felicity have the coolest job ever, but her one-liners and personality are histerical!

Felicity needs a job and lands one at a matchmaking service called Cupids Hollow. When her boss explains to her that she IS a cupid, she will be able to make matches in her school via a cupid-arrow/email. Cupids Hollow is funded by the flower/card industries, so when love is in the air, everyone profits.

With a tricked out cupid PDA Felicity decides to bend the rules and pair up her BFF Maya with 3 potential matches, with the idea that her friend would ultimitly decide who is the right one. The problem is, Maya cant decide. Now Felicity is trying to help Maya juggle 3 guys at once, keep making good matches, and trying to catch the eye of her crush Derrick. One disaster turns into another, and Felicity learns an importnat lesson in love.

This book was wonderful, mindless reading. Nothing too complicated, and the story was fleshed out very well. Perfect for an airplane ride or by the pool reading.

Felicity scored a job - she's become a cupid. Cupid is no longer only for adults and there's a whole slew of them. With this new job, Felicity has the power to create love matches by sending blank emails to the couple with potential.

There are rules involved: each potential couple must have at least three points of common interest, you don't hook up more than one person with another, and above all you must learn from the matches that don't make it after the two-week trial period.

Felicity can't wait to test out her new powers. Instead of reading the manual, she's learning by trial and fire. The magic arrow email has two weeks to work and then wears off. If the couple stays together after that, the match works; if not, well, one can always try again.

Soon, she's juggling a couple who cares about the environment. She also sets up her best friend with three potential boyfriends and now has to run interference. Plus, she made matches between her arch-rival and a creep, as well as a smart girl with a wise-cracking guy. Will any of her matches survive?

STUPID CUPID is the start of a charming new trilogy filled with humor, disasters, friendship, and love that readers can't help but adore.
