Amelia's Book Room: Thwonk

Imagine if this happened to you—you find a cupid. Yep. A real-life cupid. And that cupid—whose name happens to be Jonathan—tells you that he can help you in one of three ways: artistically, academically, or romantically. You’d probably pick romantically, right? After all, he is a cupid.

A.J. Mcreary has been lusting after perfect, popular Peter Terris for months. So when Jonathan gives her the choice, after freaking out for a bit, she tells him to make Peter fall in love with her. However, the events that occur because of her decision put a literal meaning to the saying, ‘be careful what you wish for!’

When Peter, struck in the heart by Jonathan’s arrow with a resounding thwonk, gives A.J. his full attention and adoration, night and day, she realizes how a spell just isn’t the same. Meanwhile, she can’t tell anyone about Jonathan or why Peter has suddenly fallen in love with her, and her best friend senses her drifting away.

At first, I was a little skeptical about Thwonk; A.J. can be a little over-dramatic at times, and it takes her a while to realize she wished for the wrong thing. But, overall, it’s a good book, and definitely Valentine’s Day themed! Author Joan Bauer has written many other novels, such as Squashed, Hope Was Here, Backwater, and Peeled.

I hope you all have a good Valentine’s Day! I compiled a playlist of my songs for Valentine’s Day ’09. Hope it gets you in the mood!
