yes, i already have a copy of this from Kel but I found this at a library sale for cheap and thought it was worth it to pick it up for the teen vbb, rather than waiting on me to read the other copy first.

From Booklist
Gr. 7-10. "Thwonk." That's the sound made by Jonathan Cupid's bow when he fulfills A. J. McCreary's wish that hunky Peter Terris become hers and hers alone. Unfortunately, A. J. soon finds that Peter's total adoration is more than she bargained for, especially since there's not the slightest bit of depth (or interest in A. J.'s beloved photography) beneath Peter's handsome face. The question then becomes, Can a spell invoked become a spell broken? Although this novel isn't as substantial as Squashed (1992), which dealt particularly well with the question of self-image, Bauer decks out a comfortably familiar scenario with some good comic flourishes and gives strong, full voice to A. J.'s character. It's a novel YAs will read just for fun. Stephanie Zvirin --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description
" 'You and I are going to drive to Peter's house,' I shouted with ecstasy. 'You are going to zap him with a poisoned arrow and I'm going to live happily ever after!' I grabbed my car keys, flung on my black bomber jacket, and headed to my Volvo and destiny."

A.J. has two passions-photography and her crush on Peter Terris, the most popular guy in school. Enter Jonathan, a tiny cupid offering A. J. a wish in one of three categories: academics, art or romance. Without hesitating, A. J. chooses romance-despite her dream of getting into arts college. But magic can be unpredictable, and ultimately A.J. will have to decide what's worth fighting for: Peter's charmed love or the truth she can find through her camera lens and in herself.

"It's to Bauer's credit that this wacky ride through adolescent affairs of the heart never grows predictable. ...A fine romance with plenty of hitches." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Bauer's buoyant narrative will elicit chuckles as it delivers its message (thwonk!) with the accuracy of a well-aimed arrow from Cupid." (Publishers Weekly) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
