<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Sixteen-year-old Katie Camilleri can't believe she's accidentally created a teenage boy. A boy six-feet tall with floppy hair and eyes like the sky on a clear summer's day. A boy whose lips taste like cookie dough and whose skin smells like springtime. A boy completely devoted to Katie. But silly musings and kitchen antics with her best friend, Libby, have definitely taken a whimsical twist into something bigger than Katie could have ever daydreamed. Turns out the consequences of fumbling a human being into existence are rather complicated. More importantly, does Guy, the golden Adonis Katie's created, like her because he wants to, or because he has to? And will he be Katie's very first kiss?"--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Katie and her best friend accidentally cook up a "perfect guy" in this fun rom-com, a modern twist on "Weird Science." From author Jenna Guillaume.</p><p>"Guillaume's cinematic story weaves together beloved romantic comedy tropes touched with magic--or is it science?" --<i>Booklist</i></b></p><p>All 15-year-old Katie Camilleri wants is the perfect first kiss from the perfect guy. So when she and her best friend Libby accidentally cook up a "perfect guy" in the kitchen (seriously--he's like a long lost Hemsworth brother), things are looking up for Katie and her plan to lose her mouth virginity.</p><p>But it turns out spontaneously creating a human being (who resembles a golden god) is slightly more complicated than Katie could have anticipated. Will her friendship with Libby survive the test? And will Katie EVER get her first kiss?!</p><p>From the author of <i>What I Like About Me</i> comes a hilarious twist on the 1985 pop culture classic "Weird Science." Jenna Guillaume uses her signature humor and relatable voice to delight but also to explore themes of body image, friendship, and asexuality. Sure to thrill fans of Jenny Han.</p><p>Also available: <br><i>What I Like About Me</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Katie's] friendship with Libby is heartwarming and relatable, and her character grows throughout the story....a quick escape of a story that emphasizes the lesson that our idea of 'perfection' isn't always what we're looking for.... Younger teens will likely enjoy Katie's shenanigans." --School Library Journal<br><br>"Plenty of early 2000s rom-com vibes and lighthearted mishaps... Guillaume's cinematic story weaves together beloved romantic comedy tropes touched with magic--or is it science?--and drops them into a fresh, contemporary setting. Despite the playful tone, this isn't without nuance, taking on serious topics such as male body image, friendship, and asexuality." --Booklist<br><br>"An enjoyable rom-com." --Kirkus Reviews<br>
