Writing and hoping,
sketching and sculpting –
make your own dream come true\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The day I created a boy started like any other” (p. 1) with Katie’s sketches and stories, dreaming of her perfect first kiss, swooning over Declan at school, and constant commentary by BFF Libby. Who knew that their art + science creative project last night would bring handsome, adorable Guy into their lives today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How?! No time for questions when she awakens to the perfect teen boy in her bedroom! Theo from next door comes to the rescue, and they discover that he’s real, he has no belly button<\/a> (she forgot to sculpt it), and he loves 16-year-old Katie more than anything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katie helped Theo as they lost his mum to cancer, and now he lets Guy share his added-on bedroom as they all try to figure out what’s next\u2026 a guy with no last name or ID can’t go to school with them, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from Guy being utterly delighted by Katie and sunset and the beach and every new food he tries (which means everything), the rest of her life is the same – Mikayla and the mean girls are still hateful to her and Libby, she’s still nervous about painting the big mural<\/a> at school, and Declan is still cute – what??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can she balance her part-time job and Guy and school?
Why is Theo starting to act weird around her?
Will her first kiss be perfect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A story in two voices, as Libby interrupts often to refocus Katie’s narrative of how Guy was created and learned to live in their Australian neighborhood below parental radar (mostly).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What attributes would you give to the perfect person for you?
