Summary:
Kiss Me Again, the sequel to Rachel Vail's beloved contemporary teen romance If We Kiss, follows Charlie (Charlotte) Collins as she struggles with her feelings for her longtime crush Kevin Lazarus after their parents marry and he becomes her stepbrother.

It was complicated enough when their parents were only dating and Kevin was going out with Charlie's best friend, Tess. Now, living under one roof, Charlie and Kevin are crossing paths and crossing lines, sneaking around at night and then sitting down to breakfast together as a family. It feels so crazy--exciting, confusing, impossible, and romantic. It can't last, not like this, but if anybody discovers their secret, everything could explode...

Summary:
Kevin let me quickly around the side of the building, then stopped. I managed not to crash into him. I tried to look calm, cool, unperturbed. I told myself not to laugh, especially not a snorting kind of laugh. "wha...what did"

And then he kissed me.

Charlotte (Charlie to her friends) finds herself falling for a boy who is off-limits. Her best friend is in love with him, and her mother and his father are dating. Still, Charlie can't help but wonder, what would happen if we kissed?

Summary:
There's a first for everything.

When you build up something in your mind--really imagine it, wish for it--sometimes, when it actually happens, it doesn't live up to your expectations.

True love is nothing like that.

Especially not for Katherine and Michael, who can't get enough of each other. Their relationship is unique: sincere, intense, and fun all at the same time. Although they haven't been together all that long, they know it's serious. A whole world opens up as a young passion and sexuality bloom.

But it's senior year of high school, and there are big changed ahead. Michael and Katherine are destined for another big "First": a decision. Is this love of a lifetime, or the very beginning of a lifetime of love?

Single is starting to feel a whole lot like solo.

Book Haul!!

I think we can all relate to the feeling we get when we have a delivery in the mail, or purely the book itself. There's always a great deal going on in the bargain section, or we find a gem of a book hidden within the shelves that make us so happy, we just want to go home and start reading it right away...but wait, there's a book you're currently reading and you need to finish it first.

So here it is, a new book haul from delivery to shelves, and will sit there until my TBR pile gets smaller...

Welcome!

Thanks for checking out my page. It is still in the process of being worked out, and there will be lots of new things up. Don't forget to check out my Instagram page and follow!

So until then, keep reading!
