This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.

“Some people say that their lives suck. Well, let me tell you what sucks. First, I’m a seventeen year-old girl who would rather receive an unabridged Oxford’s English Dictionary rather than some Gucci bag. Second, in a sisterhood camp where all girls wanted Gucci bags, I was the odd one out. Third, I’m suddenly forced to join the Kiss List Project—where we should write a list of all the guys we’ve kissed or will kiss until December and see who kissed most guys. And I wasn’t backing down, because fourth, I don’t like losing. But fifth: In my whole seventeen years of existence? I haven’t kissed anyone.” When Andrea Montgomery gets herself in a bet during camp, she finds herself sucked in a whirlwind of pepper mints, kissing booths, bad breath, bad kissers—and maybe true love’s kiss along the way. Summer’s over, and seventeen year-old Andrea comes home with something that would change her life. The Kiss List. School’s just about to start, and once she tells her best friends, Lia, Jordan, and Gwen about it, they’re all ready to help her fill it up. From crazy kissing booths, first date disasters, party crashing, speed and online dating to just about anything—Andy has five months to fill The Kiss List. But she promised herself—she wouldn’t fall in love with anybody. And… well, it turns out that promises? Meant to be broken.
