Description
A sarcastic teenager with the powers of cupid unleashes her preternatural matchmaking abilities on her school with hilarious and charming results.
Jonesy is a self-described “cool dork” who spends her time making zines nobody reads, watching anime, and listening to riot grrrl bands and 1D simultaneously. But she has a secret nobody knows. She has the power to make people fall in love! Anyone. With anything. She’s a cupid in plaid. With a Tumblr. There’s only one catch—it doesn’t work on herself. She’s gonna have to find love the old-fashioned way, and in the meantime, figure out how to distract herself from the real emotions she inevitably has to face when her powers go wrong…
Written by Sam Humphries and illustrated by Caitlin Rose Boyle, this charming tale is sure to appeal to romantics and cynics alike.

Advance Praise
"From the way crushes and fandom are portrayed, to Jonesy’s dramatic narration of events and her feelings, Humphries writing makes me laugh at one panel and cover my face at the next, slightly embarrassed to feel so known by a girl with literal hearts in her eyes. Quinn’s vibrant, let’s-use-the-whole-rainbow coloring matches Boyle’s larger than life bubbly cartoon art so well, that I honestly don’t know what else to say about it, except that the only thing missing from this comic is glitter. Jonesy is a joy from the first page to the last, although she would probably be super annoyed I said that about her." - Book Riot
