Themes
Quick Assessment
Eros, a love goddess known as Cupid, is exiled to New Jersey after defying Zeus and must help three high school couples find love without her powers. The story is lighthearted and romantic, with crushes, friendship, and a teen who is grieving her father's death and feels let down by her mother. Romance stays at the level of flirting and emotional feelings, so it suits most teen readers, and the grief is handled with support from friends.
