Kiss Her Once for Me by Alison Cochrun
4.5
emotional reflective
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book was nearly 5 star read for me, but it’s over reliance on the same thing happening multiple times took it down a bit for me. 

Pros: 
- great queer representation
- informative discussion of bi erasure + ace spectrum
- supporting cast is so we’ll done (the grandmas are the best)
- such a cute romance 

Cons: 
- over reliance on miscommunication. Almost every conflict except the parent/child conflicts were based around misinterpretation of the situation
- a tiny bit repetitive as the MC tries to avoid the sister 

Would have been perfect for me without the miscommunication trope multiple times
