I\u2019m so unbelievably grateful to Danielle and the Jacinta di Mase Agency for championing Dear Campus Cupid, and to Lisa at Penguin Random House for seeing the heart of this story\u2014the love letters, the longing, the quiet hopes\u2014and saying yes. And, to my Mama dearest, thank you for bearing with me to talk about this moment unfailingly every single day for years and years now (ask her, she\u2019d laugh). I\u2019m still pinching myself.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>PRH publisher Lisa Riley said, \u2018Dear Campus Cupid is the love letter you long to read, with all the intense yearning of a K-drama and characters to fall in love with.
