Kiss Number 8 by Colleen AF Venable
3.0

As other reviewers have noted, this was not the fun lighthearted queer story that it was marketed as. Much heavier themes. A VERY quick wrap up that left many things unresolved, so I was surprised when I got to the end. 

Also Cat was terrible the entire length of the book, and then
when the group just suddenly stopped being friends and never spoke again, I was surprised, esp Laura. Laura also didn’t seem like the type to tell the whole school that Amanda had kissed her, so that felt very out of character. Also, I was absolutely shocked Amanda ended up having sex with Adam!!!! Especially when she kept pushing when he said a few times they should wait. 
Also Amanda was not a great friend to Laura for most of the book and that never got addressed. 

All in all, I found this book underwhelming.
