Kiss Her Once for Me by Alison Cochrun
5.0

Delicious, cinematic, artsy, and trope-y in the best way. For those of y'all who read and loved The Charm Offensive and wondered what Alison Cochrun would do next, here's the perfect follow-up. I relate to Ellie so much, what with having Generalized Anxiety Disorder, being afraid of failure, and lacking confidence in art. And ultimately this book boils down to FEAR. And that fear is something I feel on a daily basis. In contrast, Jack is completely fearless and poetry in motion. Add in a super elaborate fake dating plotline, a toxic parental relationship, and the CUTEST graphic novel and it's just... perfection. Take me to Portland stat!
