The Kiss Bet Volume One

[Quirky Cat]

Summary:

Sara Lin is eighteen and still hasn’t had her first kiss. That isn’t a big deal, except for the fact that Sara can’t stop thinking about it. So she stupidly makes a bet with her best friend, Patrick, that she’ll get her first kiss before time is up.

One thing led to another, and now Sara is in a world full of drama. She embarrassed herself in front of the new kid, has a total crush on his brother, and overall is making life so much messier than it needs to be.

Review:

The Kiss Bet Volume One is a roller coaster of a read, from start to finish. I wonder what sort of chaotic adventures will happen in the second volume. (Yes, I know I could hop on Webtoons and read more right now).

This story has a lot of teenage drama, from high school woes (grades, clubs, etc.) to more personal drama (crushes, kisses, friendship issues). It’s a lot, and I mean that in a good way. Let’s be real—we were all a little extra in high school.

Sara Lin is pretty much the embodiment of extra. She feels so much, is clearly an avid fan, and is super harsh with herself. About some things, anyway. The irony of her being more upset about a kiss than her grades gave me a good chuckle (we’ve all been there, right?).

I won’t pretend I liked every character in The Kiss Bet Volume One. The story was chaotic and fun, but some of the characters drove me nuts. I’m hoping we’ll get the chance to see them grow with the series.
