All fifteen-year-old Katie Camilleri wants is the perfect first kiss from the perfect guy—and now he's just magically appeared in her bedroom, completely naked!

When Katie and her best friend accidentally cook up a gorgeous teenage boy in the kitchen (seriously—he's like a long-lost Hemsworth brother), things are looking up for Katie and her plan to lock lips. But it turns out spontaneously creating a human being named Guy is slightly more complicated than Katie could have anticipated.

Guy is wholly devoted to Katie but can't pin down why. Her high school classmates can't figure out what a hot guy like him is with her. And to make matters worse, her BFF isn't on board with this new romance. Plus, the longtime boy from next door is suddenly all kinds of moody. So is the "perfect" boy the right boy for Katie, after all?

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 and also explore themes of body image, friendship, and supporting character asexuality.

"An enjoyable rom-com." —Kirkus Reviews

"Plenty of early 2000s rom-com vibes and lighthearted mishaps. . . Guillaume's cinematic story weaves together beloved romantic comedy tropes touched with magic—or is it science?—and drops them into a fresh, contemporary setting. Despite the playful tone, this isn't without nuance, taking on serious topics such as male body image, friendship, and asexuality."—Booklist

"[Katie's] friendship with Libby is heartwarming and relatable, and her character grows throughout the story.. . . a quick escape of a story that emphasizes the lesson that our idea of 'perfection' isn't always what we're looking for. . . . Younger teens will likely enjoy Katie's shenanigans." —School Library Journal
