Children's Literature

The Cupid Chronicles is froth with just enough substance to be more than a guilty pleasure. It is the second book in a series about a girl named Willa, her best friend Tina, and their life in Cape Cod. Following The Wedding Planner's Daughter, this book opens with two major events in Willa's life. The local library announces that it is in danger of closing, and her crush, Joey Kennelly, moves back to their hometown of Bramble. The book is light and fun but also heartfelt and tragic at times. Willa and Tina face adversity in the form of insufficient funds and Ruby Sivler, who claims to have spent long hours alone with Joey. With the help of cupid and fundraisers, the two girls overcome the various obstacles. Reviewer: Jennifer Waldrop
