Great concept but so-so execution

This was a very middle-of-the-pack read for me. Meaning it's not a bad book and I enjoyed reading it, but it's also not a great book as it suffers from clunky development.
The idea of a matchmaking service led by cupids, how bad-A those cupids are, and the big bad are just a few of the really cool ideas that are contained within. Unfortunately, they're joined by a whole bunch of tropes and cliches that I am so over. They brought down the entire average of the book.
Cupid and Cal are awesome. I can't express how much I want to know more about Crystal and her adventures. But Lila is the stereotypical average girl that turns out to be awesome that I'm really getting tired of. Maybe if there had been more pages to develop her...
Overall, I'm not mad I read this book and there are some fun elements that I'd actually love to explore in a second volume, but I'm not shouting about it from the rooftops.
