“Guillaume’s cinematic story weaves together beloved romantic comedy tropes touched with magic—or is it science?” —Booklist
All 15-year-old Katie Camilleri wants is the perfect first kiss from the perfect guy. So when she and her best friend Libby accidentally cook up a “perfect guy” in the kitchen (seriously—he’s like a long lost Hemsworth brother), things are looking up for Katie and her plan to lose her mouth virginity.
But it turns out spontaneously creating a human being (who resembles a golden god) is slightly more complicated than Katie could have anticipated. Will her friendship with Libby survive the test? And will Katie EVER get her first kiss?!
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 but also to explore themes of body image, friendship, and asexuality. Sure to thrill fans of Jenny Han.
