《Book reviews *Requests Closed*》'Cupid Rhymes With Stupid' by Quiet_Pen

Advertisement

This book, written by Quiet_Pen, follows six teenagers in China: Zacharias Dela Cruz, Sabrina Chen, Xander Chen, Ythan Hopkins, Allurenzo Collins and Eleutherius Collins. Many things happen to them and their personalities are very different; it would take me too long to fully describe what happens in the story, but it's a wild ride.

The feel this book gives me is that of a slice-of-life/action Anime. This is mainly because of the Anime pictures provided to give us an idea of the characters' looks, the book taking place in Asia for a change, and certain tropes/plot points being written in general Anime-style. Some things, in my opinion, such as Xander's fanclub, are a little too exaggerated and Anime-esque in my opinion; it causes the humour to feel a little forced. However, these things do not dominate the story and can be overlooked.

The GPS is nearly perfect and when it comes to grammar and spelling, I doubt editing will be very necessary.

I like how this story shows same-sex couples! In China, even! Not a country known for its tolerance towards homosexuality, but it's an interesting take.

What does bother me a little is the use of Chinese and sometimes other Asian languages throughout the story. It's actually quite unnecessary, but if you do want to keep using it, use it less frequently and try sticking to Chinese. There's really no point in having your character blurt out a word in Thai when there's no credible reason as to why they'd speak Thai in that particular situation.

Rating: 7.5
