“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.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
