I love this! I love a good YA romance and it seems like the Roman mythology and actual plot involved in this will keep it from crossing too far to being one of the terrible YA cliches (although it does hit plenty of cliches, so be warned). And it's going to be a TV series?! I have a thing about reading the book first, so of course I had to read it. While there isn't anything terribly unique here, it does what it has well. Modern mythology, forbidden love, slow romance. I do wish the main character had been a bit older than high school. College, maybe? It can get a little skeevy with what is presumably an adult Cupid, although everything stays cleanly in the YA genre. And the mythology gets twisted up a bit. But it's a good fun read to not think too hard about!
