Perfect Match

A girl's well-intentioned Valentine's Day meddling entangles her in a love triangle with her best friend and a girl with a crush on him in this tween romance perfect for fans of Courtesy of Cupid.

This year, Mia is selling and delivering roses and chocolate for the Valentine's Day fundraiser, and just like the year before, the same few popular girls are slated to receive bouquets of deliveries from their best friends. To shake things up a bit, Mia delivers an extra twenty-five roses from made-up "secret admirers" to overlooked girls who she thinks could use a confidence boost.

But Mia's meddling might have done more harm than good--especially when she realizes that one of her rose deliveries has inspired Sun Patterson to get a makeover and pursue Alex, Mia's best friend who she might feel more than friendly toward.

As the messy consequences of the extra roses unfold, Mia finds herself torn between her newfound goal to help others find their perfect match, the heavy weight of her secret actions, the friendships she is struggling to find time for, and some seriously confusing feelings for Alex.

Maybe this matchmaker stuff is more complicated than it seems.
