If We Kiss by Rachel Vail
Goodreads Summary:
As discreetly as possible I pressed my right fist against my mouth and stuck my gum to the back of it, just in case this was going to turn into a kissing-type thing. Even in my inexperience, I knew you are not supposed to have gum in your mouth while you kiss. Kevin led me quickly around the side of the building, then stopped. I managed not to crash into him. I tried to look calm, cool, unperturbed. I told myself not to laugh, especially not a snorting kind of laugh. “Wha … what did …” And then he kissed me. If We Kiss is the story of Charlotte (Charlie to her friends), who finds herself falling for a boy who is off-limits. Her best friend is in love with him, and her mother and his father are dating. Still, Charlie can’t help but wonder, what would happen if we kiss?
My Review:
I read this book several years ago and enjoyed it, and I just reread it because Rachel just published a sequel. This is a book that I loved throughout the whole story, even though I was not sure what I wanted to happen. Mainly because I wanted to happen and what was right were too different things. The ending was the same way. I did not necessarily dislike the ending, but is that how I wanted things to end? I am not sure. This book has a fairly definite ending, so I am interested to see what she did with the sequel. This is a cute, light book for younger teens.
4 stars.
