Okay, Cupid

From the bestselling author of I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST, the story of a cupid who thinks they know everything about love... until they fall in love themselves.

As a cupid, Jude thinks they understand love a little bit more than the average human. It makes sense — Jude's been studying love their whole teen life. And, yes, there have been some bumps in the road, and they're currently on probation for doing something that they absolutely, definitely shouldn't have done... but they're ready to prove they can make matches without ever getting involved.

Only... Jude's next assignment isn't about setting up two adults. No, this time Jude has to go to high school, with kids their own age. And the assignment is a tough one: two best friends who are meant to be more than just best friends... but who aren't currently speaking to each other after a huge falling out.

Jude thinks they've got this one all under control, and that they won't get involved whatsoever.

Which proves that maybe Jude hasn't learned the first lesson of humans and love ... It's complicated.

      As a Cupid, 16-year-old agender Jude is responsible for keeping the universe in balance by facilitating romantic relationships. But Jude, who cues as white, is still on probation after breaking one of the cardinal rules by falling for a human on the job. As a test, their new assignment is a long-term undercover mission at a Bay Area high school, where they’re tasked with rebuilding the budding relationship between two estranged best friends. Things go well at first, with Jude insinuating themself into the lives of transgender soccer captain Huy Trinh and moody musician Thanh “Alice” Tran, who are both of Vietnamese descent. But in restoring the fractured friendship, Jude develops unexpected feelings for Huy, which jeopardizes the mission and once again threatens to undermine Jude’s very existence as a Cupid. Deaver (The Feeling of Falling in Love) eschews deeper exploration of the Cupid lore, leaving much to the imagination. The undeniable chemistry—both platonic and romantic—between Jude and the intersectionally diverse, distinctly rendered cast fuels this insightful romantic comedy, which sensitively explores the queer spectrum and issues of privilege while keeping the emotional components front and center. Ages 14–up. Agent: Lauren E. Abramo, Dystel, Goderich & Bourret.
