What an absolutely adorable book!

I mistakenly took this for the book that The Kissing Booth film was based off of which is why I picked it up originally. Shocker that I was wrong because I've done this many times. I see a book with a similar title, buy it, and then realize I probably should have researched the actual book and author first... Oh well! This book was a pleasant surprise and I laughed at my repeated mistakes. But hey, that's how I've found some truly remarkable books - on accident!

Lisi is a highschooler who has never been kissed and has the biggest crush on one of the popular guys in school. When the Spring Carnival comes around and it's recommended students come up with booth ideas, Lisi and her friends decide to start up a kissing booth! Well, life can't be that easy, huh? The popular girls get this bright idea as well and a small competitive starts. But sometimes life throws some curveballs... And maybe Lisi's desires for a kiss might come from someone unexpected.

Ugh, so cute! This is definitely one of those sweet books I would have read back in my elementary school years. It's sugary sweet, immature from an adult perspective, but all around adorable! If you don't take the book too seriously, you will absolutely love it. I can relate to when I was a young girl wishing for my first kiss and hoping for some magical moment. This is definitely a must read for the younger side of young adult readers to enjoy an easy, contemporary read.

Three out of five stars. ( )

This book was meant to be a light read but between school and me not liking it that much it took me forever to finish it. All in all, I didn't really enjoy it. ( )

It is a well-thought out book that keeps the reader’s attention and interest in this cute, quirky book about friends, crushes, enemies, a love triangle and what some people do for love. I read this book because it sounded interesting.

It is very interesting. There are a lot of details and there is a twist to the story. I choses this book by the cover.

Kissing Booth is not something to be taken critically—more of a fun, little whimsical read.

However I do have to point out that I had issues with some things. Mostly on the characters friendship wise. So Lisi has two best girl friends, Mo and Bella. They both annoy me to no end at one point or another.

Mo for instance was Lisi’s best, I mean best!, friend since childhood. After coming back from Paris after spring break, her entire appearance changes. But that does not necessary change her personality. A quarter-way into the book, she completely ditches Lisi. Why? We’ll find out later on, like later on. Does it justify her decision wholly especially since she ends up leaving Lisi for the arch nemesis, the Fly girls (aka the Dance Team)? I am leaning towards ninety percent no. I guess this is all based on what you characterize as friendship, to what extreme or clarity should you expect from close friends. The truth is not needed all the time, but a slight indication would be nice. Remember, this is all my opinion.

Bella to me was more of user than an actual friend. She practically used Lisi to achieve her goals, never mind what Lisi thinks. She (Lisi) needs to grow a backbone and say no for once. It is fine to say no since it is your heinie that is on the line.

Aside from that and the small insignificant details, Kissing Booth a mind-numbing book because it is such a simple book. The plot line was unique particularly the way the author connects all the pieces together. It felt realistic in the sense that I know these types of people. Lexie Hill captured high school drama to the tee.

Overall: Cute and funny at times, but nothing extraordinary ( )
