More About This Book

Overview

Just because Piper's birthday is on Valentine's Day does not mean she's a romantic. In fact, after watching her father and then her stepfather leave, she's pretty sure she doesn't believe in love at all. Then her friends concoct a plan to find them all Valentine's dates, and somehow Piper finds herself with the most popular guy in school. But true love never follows a plan, and a string of heartfelt gifts from a secret admirer has Piper wondering if she might be with the wrong guy.

In this heartwarming romance, true love is more than a maybe - and it might be closer than you think.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Hepler (The Cupcake Queen) pens an energetic Valentine’s Day tale for romantics and cynics alike. High school student Piper Paisley falls into the latter category—her birthday coincides with Valentine’s Day, but she dismisses the holiday as a “capitalist scam” and has bigger problems than a lack of a boyfriend. Between helping her busy mother care for her younger siblings, working for local confectioner Jan the Candy Man, competing on the swim team, and trying to keep up with schoolwork, she barely has time to breathe. After Piper’s friend Claire is dumped, their friend Jillian comes up with “The Plan,” which involves their getting dates by Valentine’s Day with help from a love potion. Gifts start showing up in Piper’s locker, and her longtime crush asks her out, but she remains skeptical, as well as oblivious to the person who’s been falling for her all along. While the story’s romantic trajectories are fairly transparent and the story ends tidily, readers seeking a romance with sweet, salty, and spicy moments (not unlike Jan’s candies) should be entertained. Ages 12–up. (Jan.)
VOYA
Despite being born on Valentine's Day and working in a candy shop, Piper is cynical, grouchy, and certainly not a romantic. In order to boost the spirits of a friend going through a breakup, she agrees to go along with a Valentine's Day plan, a fanciful scheme that includes selecting boys to pursue and developing a love potion. Piper never expected the plan to actually work, so it surprised everyone when the most popular guy in school is suddenly interested in her. Even more mysterious are the gifts she receives from a secret admirer. Regardless of her luck, Piper is still disenchanted, but with the help of a few good friends, she might be able to find that ounce of hope. Although Love? Maybe qualifies as a love story, it is not necessarily a romance. There are bits of romance, but the story goes beyond the usual teen romance and explores love from different angles—lost love, friendships, family love, forgiveness, and hope. Hepler establishes realistic, relatable, and strong characters with very endearing relationships. Some of the dialogue may sound somewhat cliche, but the charming banter between Piper and her friends more than makes up for it. Fun, light, with morsels of sadness and plenty of chocolate, this story is not exactly book-report-worthy, but it will attract readers looking for a quick escape into a coming-of-age novel.

School Library Journal
Gr 7 Up—Piper Paisley of Atlanta is going to turn another year older on Valentine's Day, and her friends are certain that she wants to find love, so they make a plan to each have a boyfriend for the special day. Piper is not so sure they're right, but she plays along and finds herself dating Ben Donovan, one of the most popular boys in school, but it doesn't seem right. What's even stranger is that Piper begins to receive Valentine gifts in her locker. Who is sending them? While this is a fun book about friendship and romance with a hint of mystery, the plot moves at a glacial pace. Readers may feel compelled to cut to the chase and read the ending before actually finishing the book.—Karen Alexander, Lake Fenton High School, Linden, MI
Kirkus Reviews
An emotionally constipated girl falls in love. Although she was born on Valentine's Day, Piper Paisley believes that "being hopeful is just a big setup for disappointment." Not that she doesn't come by her skepticism about love honestly. She's watched her mother's two marriages fall apart and felt the pain of losing both her father figures, men who she thought really cared about her. Because of this unconscious fear of rejection, Piper is the "queen of pushing people away," coming up with superficial Seinfeld-like reasons to rebuff any male who finds her attractive. But the people who love Piper aren't about to let her stay in her shell forever, and this emergence is the heart of the novel. Despite the its good intentions, the book lacks spice, and not much tension is generated in this earnest story of emotional awakening. Perhaps it's because the characters, though sometimes misguided, are essentially so well meaning that readers cannot ever doubt that the whole thing will end with a lesson learned and a group hug. The particular lesson, that while "hearts are delicate," they're also "amazingly resilient," is nevertheless valid, and while the story won't attract readers outside of a narrow demographic, girls in need of emotional comfort should find it satisfying. (Fiction. 12 & up)
