Thanks to @/coloredpagesbt for the finished copy and selecting me for this tour!

This is the first book I’ve read by Mason Deaver, and it was a sweet one.

Okay, Cupid is a very cute YA (rom-comish vibes) book where our main character Jude is having a bit of a hard time being a Cupid.

I really loved the story as a whole. We see our MC Jude faced with the “do what’s expected of you or do what best for you” dilemma. Since Jude is still a young Cupid we see him face the complexity of his fears, his greater responsibilities, and choosing the unknown.

The concept of Cupid in this world was something that I truly loved. When I think of Cupid I always thing of stereotypical cherubs in diapers with wings, but here we have cupids that are blending in with society, and doing subtle things in their targets life to complete their tasks.

I still have mixed feelings about the ending mainly because it kinda broke my heart. I’m not going to spoil it because it was a big decision made by Jude in the end.

Now I have to backtrack and read I Wish You All Best!

i love mason deaver's writing and this was a really fun, romcom-y book that anyone who loves lighthearted, fluffy romance would love. jude was a great main character and i loved seeing their story progress. i loved having a nonbinary character who just was themself and seeing them be so unconditionally loved and accepted by everyone in their life. and their love story with huy was so cute!! overall, i had a good time reading this book, but parts of it fell a little flat for me. while i really liked the concept of cupids out in the world, getting people together, the trajectory of jude's duty to their role to wanting to quit felt forced at times, like there wasn't any reason at all for them to stay as a cupid and you were waiting the whole book for them to figure it out. i did like the ending being kind of ambiguous because i loved being surprised, but i also would've liked a little more clarification on what happened. did jude and leah lose their memories? are they not cupids anymore? regardless, i still had a great time and would definitely recommend this book to someone looking for a fun YA romance. i received an ARC from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
