"As always, Staniszewski provides a deft mix of comedy and
sensitive, deeper themes, making her book not only entertaining,
but one that offers wisdom. She knows where to mine the humor from
middle school life but does not sacrifice her characterizations for
easy laughs. Light-but not lightweight-fun for preteens." - Kirkus
Reviews
" A cute and mild love story with a dash of supernatural charm that
dives a little deeper with its exploration of death and love." -
School Library Journal
"Staniszewski works tween humor very well, and if this is any
indication, readers are in for a wild and hilarious ride from
upcoming installments in the Switched at First Kiss series." -
Booklist
"Lena is a reaper. When people are about to die, she touches them
and sends them on their way. Marcus is a cupid. When he touches
people, they fall in love. Lena and Marcus are both at the same
eighth grade party when Connie pushes them into a closet and dares
them to kiss. But this is no ordinary first kiss--it's electric,
and now Lena is a cupid and Marcus is a reaper. What follows is
chaos at its funniest. This is the start of a new series that
promises to be great fun!" - Shelf Awareness
"The story is a cute twist on Freaky Friday and the trouble the two
find themselves in is laughably funny. Though alternately
heartbreaking and humorous, this is a great romance story for
tweens and teens, who want something lighthearted, fun, and
magical." - San Francisco Book Review
