First Kisses and Other Misfortunes

First Kisses and Other Misfortunes is one of those super-sweet books you just devour. It helps that it's a novella, too, so you can literally devour it in one go! But first, before you get excited and go and buy it (and do go and buy it because as I type it is FREE), you must read Love, Fortunes and Other Disasters first. You'll thank me later, because you need to read Fallon's story before you read Nico's.

As I said, this is just a short novella, but it's so good to see Nico get his story! I loved him in Love, Fortunes and Other Disasters, and I just wanted him to get his happy-ever-after with Martin, but Martin is so awkward and Nico is such a worrier and oh, bless them, you just want them to kiss and GET IT OVER WITH DAMN IT. But I could understand why both boys were so shy! Martin had that whole awful experience in Love, Fortunes and Other Disasters, and Nico could hardly believe his luck that Martin wanted to be with him. That just equals all kinds of awkward and cute.

Honestly, I thoroughly enjoyed First Kisses and Other Misfortunes. It's whet my appetite perfectly for Love, Charms and Other Catastrophes, even though we barely saw Kiriji or Fallon, but it was a lovely little filler between the first two books and I still absolutely adore Nico. He's a darling!
