Cupid's Revenge

Product Information

Who the hell is Katherine Cooper-Bunting? And why have you literally never mentioned this fierce love?” I asked. Between the deep seeded feelings Tilly has found for Katherine, her love for her best friend, her family issues and the production of the play Cupid's Revenge, Tilly's life has been sent into one hell of a tailspin, and no one knows where it'll finally slow down. There was so much character development that happened within this book. All the side characters were detailed and really made the experience all the more entertaining. I was going to stay way away from all that, even after what happened in church. And maybe even after that, but you know Cupid: He’ll get you when you least expect it. After several years of winning acclaim in the comedy world for their humour-infused shows, New Art Club's Tom Roden and Pete Shenton are reaffirming their commitment to dance and physical theatre in their new work Cupid's Revenge.

Every girl likes a musician. Also, it indicates I’m good with my hands, which, you know, is a really good quality. Sexually speaking.” For fans of Casey McQuiston and Alice Oseman, a girl falls for her best friend’s crush in Cupid’s Revenge , a queer young adult rom-com from Wibke Brueggemann that’s equal parts hilarious and swoon-worthy. Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Children’s Books for a copy of the ebook. This review is left voluntarily.

Overall, this was just an amazing read and I'm happy to have read it. Definitely one of my favorite sapphic reads of the year.

Tilly has been roped into a scheme by her best friend, Teddy, to help him land the girl he currently has a crush on: Katherine Cooper-Bunting. Thus, Tilly helps Teddy prepare an audition for the local play. Sincer Katherine is an aspiring actor. Too bad Tilly doesn’t consider herself creative.I usually enjoy a story surrounding theater, especially if it's sapphic. This one was...a journey. The best aspect was Tilly's grandfather and the way the author handled his dementia. Tilly's obsession with Katherine is weird throughout most of the book. I didn't understand the attraction between them at all. It literally felt like Tilly wanted her just because Teddy did. I liked the rest of the theater group, especially Robin, but it was weird that Tilly only referred to two of the actors based on their audition piece even after she definitely should have learned their names. I did appreciate the dynamic between Tilly and her parents and the struggle she goes through to have them be present.

Covid even held a big role in the book as well. I can tell the author may of wrote this during a tough time for us all. It made me realize that a whole generation of kids were going through the woes of puberty during a scary time in our world's history.

For fans of Casey McQuiston and Alice Oseman, a girl falls for her best friend’s crush in Cupid’s Revenge, a queer young adult rom-com from Wibke Brueggemann that’s equal parts hilarious and swoon-worthy. Hell and damnation,” Teddy panic-whispered, and turned around on the spot for no reason. “And you have to call me Theodore.” As a lover of Wibke Brueggmann's debut novel, Love Is For Losers, I jumped at the chance to read her newest release, and it's safe to say that my excitement was well placed. I also have to point out that there is one or two instances where our non - binary character Robin is misgendered. However, this is due to others not knowing and it isn’t through ignorance - and it’s corrected straight away once it’s been made clear they’re non - binary.
