It's going to be a complicated Valentine's Day. Rhymes with Cupid is a sweet, funny love story
about a girl who finds romance despite her best efforts not
to. All that Elyse Ulrich wants is to get through
Valentine’s Day as painlessly as possible. Working at
Goodman’s Gifts & Stationery is not helping. Now she
spends her after-school hours surrounded by singing stuffed
toys, tacky heart-shaped balloons, and sappy cards with
poems that don’t even really rhyme.
Not to mention
Patrick, the new boy at the mall who keeps asking her out.
Sure, he’s charming, considerate, funny, and, okay, really
cute, but none of that matters. Elyse isn’t interested in
putting her heart on the line. But with Valentine’s Day
approaching, she finds out that avoiding Cupid’s arrow is a
lot harder than she thought.
