Rating: 3.5 Stars

I was so excited when I found out Aurora was getting a second book. Her first book was so delightful, and I am always looking for something to make me smile. This book had a little more drama than the previous book, but it still delivered a bunch of fun hijinks and an adorable romance.

• Pro: I still love Aurora. She is in a class with Lara Jean Covey, as she is a sort of throwback and a little old fashioned. I mean this in the best way, because it's nice to see these girls represented out there.

• Pro/Con: I think it was important for Aurora to address some of the proverbial elephants in the room and really come to terms with her abandonment issues, but it was hard for me to see Aurora this way. She was such a lover or love, and her doubt in the institution of love almost made my heart stop.

• Pro: Hayden is still a prince. Yep. Everything I loved about him in the last book was turned up a notch in Kissing Games. He really was a most patient and understanding guy, and he did some of the sweetest and most swoony things too.

• Pro: All the shenanigans are still there. The gang gets into some silly fun situations, and I found myself laughing a whole lot.

• Pro: This book touched upon some actual issues, and I was surprised and delighted by the way Eglington handled Jelena's situation.

• Pro: It was fun getting to spend time with the other characters. I felt like I got to know them a little better in this book, and the banter between them was snappy and always entertaining.

• Con: HOWEVER, I sort of wanted more time with just Aurora and Hayden.

• Pro: The friendship game was strong. Aurora had a great little squad, and it's always wonderful seeing female characters, who are so loyal and supportive of each other.

• Pro: The ending was sweet and adorable and what I would expect for Aurora. It put a big smile on my face.

Overall: Another adventure with Aurora and the gang, which was fun-filled and heartwarming.
