About Dear Cupid, Absolutely Not
When Mabel writes an angry letter to Cupid rejecting her ex-best-friend as a soulmate, he responds by trapping them in a summer project together.
°*°
The universe flips a coin when you kiss your best friend. Mabel lost the toss and Zayn Moretti along with it. Now he’s back, smirking across the detention room, and competing for every academic award. Mabel tells herself she’s over it. Over him.
So when Cupid pulls a cruel joke and matches them, Mabel is fully prepared to fight fate itself. Too bad fate comes with dimples.
Forced to work side by side in a summer project that will determine her academic future, Mabel braces for six weeks of silent warfare, but the universe has other plans.
The project takes an unexpected turn when they uncover clues about cryptic roses and Dreamers from a forgotten group of outcasts. Every discovery pulls her deeper into a mystery that redefines all roses. Every dinner with Zayn shrinks the two years between them. And every stupid dimpled smile threatens to undo every wall she’s built.
Cupid promised her someone new. He never said the old one wouldn’t fight for the job.
Dear Cupid, Absolutely Not is a slow-burn romantic comedy about competitive idiots who can’t stop staring at each other, magical conspiracies hidden beneath flower petals, and the terrifying realization that your first love wasn’t a mistake. It was unfinished business.
