Stupid Cupid
Book Summary
A romantic comedy set in the picturesque town of Saint Valentine Falls, where fate enjoys playing games with numbers. Travis Wallace, a man haunted by the number two in every aspect of his life, sees his past return in the form of Pippa Ferguson, the only woman who managed to humiliate him twice. Now, Pippa has returned to town with a secret and is in need of a job, just as Travis has opened a business. Between unresolved grudges and the spark of a love that never faded, this story promises laughs, second chances, and a duel of egos that is as fun as it is addictive.
What is it about?
The novel follows Travis Wallace, a man who seems to be haunted by a curse: he is always second at everything. Second son, second in popularity, second on the team, and second in love. His life turns upside down when Pippa Ferguson, the girl who humiliated him twice at the high school fountain of love, returns to town after years of absence. Pippa doesn't return alone; she brings with her a rumor and a desperate need for employment. Travis, who has just opened his own business, flatly refuses to hire her, even though he needs a waitress. However, fate and an old friend named Cupid have other plans. The tension between them is palpable, the entire town becomes a hotbed of gossip, and the ego war gives way to a reunion loaded with chemistry, secrets, and the possibility of a romantic rematch.
