The listing, CUPIDITY~~by CAROLINE GOODE~EXCELLLENT BOOK! has ended.
From Booklist
Gr. 7-10. One of 17-year-old Laura Sweeny's interests is mythology, so when wishing for a boyfriend, she sends out a plea to the gods. Little does she know that Roman gods and goddesses are still around--retired to be sure, but living in California at the Mount Olympus retirement home. In a laugh-out-loud scene, winged Mercury, now shuffling about in an undershirt, shorts, and tennis shoes, gets Laura's message. The gods gather at the swimming pool and decide Laura deserves their aid, and that a Danny Devito-looking Cupid should be the one to help her out. Much hilarity and many mix-ups ensue as Cupid comes to Laura's town and takes on the persona of Cupidity, the new girl everyone wants to know. Laura also gets mixed up in the personal lives of the gods, extending the story. This is all silly fun, though the use of real arrows in the love capers may disturb some adults. Bringing in mythology does elevate the story, albeit not to Olympian heights
