Description

All fifteen-year-old Katie Camilleri wants is the perfect first kiss from the perfect guy—and now he's just magically appeared in her bedroom, completely naked!

When Katie and her best friend accidentally cook up a gorgeous teenage boy in the kitchen (seriously—he's like a long-lost Hemsworth brother), things are looking up for Katie and her plan to lock lips. But it turns out spontaneously creating a human being named Guy is slightly more complicated than Katie could have anticipated.

Guy is wholly devoted to Katie but can't pin down why. Her high school classmates can't figure out what a hot guy like him is with her. And to make matters worse, her BFF isn't on board with this new romance. Plus, the longtime boy from next door is suddenly all kinds of moody. So is the "perfect" boy the right boy for Katie, after all?

From the author of What I Like About Me comes a hilarious twist on the 1985 pop culture classic "Weird Science." Jenna Guillaume uses her signature humor and relatable voice to delight and also explore themes of body image, friendship, and supporting character asexuality.

This was so cute and fun! I loved the concept of this book, how it was like a Weird Science re-write. I could NOT get over the adorable-ness of this. Best for fans of Jennifer E. Smith, Jenny Han, literally every contemporary lover will love this too. Definitely will reread when I get my hands on a physical copy.

I went into this book expecting a cheesy romantic comedy, which is exactly what I got. I mean this in the best way possible as I adore romantic comedies, just as I adored this book. It was absolutely adorable. I fell in love with the characters, especially the sweet Guy and Theo. They were the most wholesome characters and I loved it. This book even got deeper than I expected. The aspects of the story that focused on Theo's mom really got to me. They were beautifully written and also something I didn't expect to find in this book. I loved that this book could be so fun and also have some serious and emotional aspects. I also really enjoyed how the book was narrated, with future Katie and Libby occasionally cutting in and giving their opinions. It was a great way to keep the book light and fun even when it got a little dark and sad. It added a balance to it that really made this book even better. I honestly can't think of anything I didn't like in this book haha, it was that fun and fantastic. I highly recommend it!

4.5 stars. If I had more time, I would've finished this in one sitting. What a fun read. Katie and Libby think they're having lighthearted fun discussing what picky Katie's dream man would be like. Until Katie wakes up with her dream man, who is very much naked, in her bed. I don't want to spoil any of the storyline since I feel like it's an absolute must read rom-com, I will say that the last few pages are what really did it for me, I was rooting for that since the first scene of them talking about the perfect first kiss. Because what is a perfect boy when you've had one all along ;) also, Declan Bell Jones and his girlfriend can choke and that's all I will say about that. (I am slightly invested in finding out why the girlfriend was as mean as she was).

Katie was really annoying throughout the book. She was so obsessed with this 'perfect' relationship that she was blind to everything going on around her. I get it though, I was a teenager once. I also absolutely loved the present day interjections between Katie and Libby, honestly a huge part of why I loved the book so much. All in all, I really loved the story of the book and would recommend it as a fun romance.

That was so good! I haven't read a book of this genre for a long time, and it was a bull's eye. I like the way of narration. That's was so smooth and nice. I love the Libby figure. She is the best type of friend. Theo and Guy... oh boy. Until today I do not know which one I would choose. Both of it was a perfect guy. After all, I think KC made the right decision for her. I have a great time with this book. Thank you!
