The Kiss That Launched A 1000 Gifs is a thoroughly entertaining romance novel that will tickle your funny bone!

Author Sheralyn Pratt weaves a sassy romantic tale that follows the on-air battle between the sexes with radio co-hosts Grace Vasquez and Ashton Miller. There is a lot of witty banter and electrifying sparks flying between the two, it is so much fun to watch Grace and Ash try to maintain a denial of attraction when it is so obvious that they are meant for each other.

The story flows smoothly in the third person narrative alternating between Grace and Ash's perspective, you can't help but get drawn into their story. There is so many laugh-out-loud moments and subtle sexual tension between the two, especially when they are in the heat of the battle of the sexes with relationship and other social issues, that it easily takes the reader on a thrilling roller coaster ride. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that the inclusion of the Instagram pictures (jabs taken at each other) with snarky comments is hilarious, I found myself laughing so much that I think I even snorted!

The Kiss That Launched A 1000 Gifs is a fast paced and delightful romance story that is the perfect read on a lazy summer day!

Grace and Ashton love to debate each other on their radio program Battle of the Sexes. Grace is independent and sure of herself, while Ashton loves to rile her up with a distinctly masculine point of view. However, their radio show is now on the bubble, so Grace and Ashton need to try and do something to keep the show going. At first it involves simple things like interacting on social media, but then agree to kiss for charity. A kiss between frenemies seems harmless, but is it really?

This was such a fun book. I definitely related to Grace. She is very strong and knows what she wants out of her life and out of her relationships with people. I especially liked that she was serious about her career while still having fun. She was so professional that a kiss was no big deal. Or so she though. Ashton was hard to get a read on at first. I am not impressed by men who try to be so stereotypical, but Ashton really liked to argue with Grace. It was hard to determine what was real and what was just Ashton egging Grace on. They had developed though a friendship of sorts, and watching it grow was one of the more fun parts of the book.

The author clearly has a good grasp on social media as well. Talking about the shippers and the names they come up with was so spot on. This was such a fun way to tell a story and make it feel very real and current. Grace was very social media savvy while Ashton didn't know as much about it. However, the interactions they had felt very real and added another layer to the story. Overall this was a very cute and entertaining read. I think people who know a lot about social media and fans will particularly enjoy this story.

Book provided for review. ( )

I have so many words I want to use to describe this book: amazing, hilarious, touching, captivating. And even then, these four don't do it justice.

Ashton and Grace are my new favorite main characters. The humor, the emotions, the banter, it was everything you'd like to see in a romantic story. Neither character overpowered or outdid the other. They truly complemented one another.

I ranted, cheered, cried, and did a happy dance as I devoured this book in one sitting. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone looking for a feel-good, funny and relationship centered story. ( )
