It's been a while, and I'm so excited to come back and share the news with you. After ten years, Kissing Is the Easy Part is being published by Wattpad Books and will be coming to bookstores everywhere on November 18, 2025—thanks to YOU.
What started as a story I wrote for myself (I really wanted to read about a fashion-savvy girl and a boy who's good at physics) grew into something much bigger because of readers like you. I've heard from some of you who come back to reread it every year, others who shared one computer with your entire class and read updated chapters together, and some who told me it shaped the way you think about love and relationships. There are so many hilarious feedback and insightful debates in the comment sections (which make me hesitant to update the Wattpad version, even though there are so many things I'd change now), and we built this together. Flora and Sean wouldn't be where they are now without you. You've literally changed the trajectory of their story, and I don't know how to thank you enough.
For years, you have asked me, "Will there ever be a physical copy?" Here it is.
Kissing Is the Easy Part is now available for preorder at the link below and on my profile: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/805835/kissing-is-the-easy-part-by-christine-duan/
For the published version, I've completely rewritten the story with better flow and characterization, added new scenes, and polished every chapter, while preserving the original essence. I'm so proud of how it's turned out. If you've read the original, I can't wait for you to experience it in a new light. If you're new here, welcome!
Thank you for being part of this journey. Please consider following me on Instagram for updates, and feel free to come chat with me "when you feel like it, knowing every time it will make me very happy." https://www.instagram.com/authorchristineduann/
Love, Christine
