Kissing in America by Margo Rabb

Kissing in America

by Margo Rabb

In the two years since her father died, sixteen-year-old Eva has found comfort in reading romance novels -- 118 of them, to be exact -- to dull the pain of her loss that's still so present. Her romantic fantasies become a reality when she meets Will, who seems to truly understand Eva's grief. Unfortunately, after Eva falls head-over-heels for him, he picks up and moves to California without any warning. Not wanting to lose the only person who has been able to pull her out of sadness -- and, perhaps, her shot at real love -- Eva and her best friend, Annie, concoct a plan to travel to the west coast to see Will again. As they road trip across America, Eva and Annie confront the complex truth about love.

This book was a mixed bag for me. Overall, I liked it.
What I liked:
• Initially, the romance
• Parts of the road trip
• The idea of the quiz show
• Eva's reflections regarding her father
• Lulu
• Eva's grieving process and other character's sharing their grief

What I wasn't so crazy about:
• Parts of the road trip
• Most of what happened in California

I will say, that the ending was nice, and the characters all seemed to be moving in a positive direction, which was what I really wanted.
