There's pretty much something for everyone, whether your first kiss was recent, hasn't happened, or it's been more than a decade. Some stories play on your emotions, some gross you out,and some would probably inspire fears I never would have thought of on my own.

This reminds me of the teen magazines of my youth.

These were fun stories, poems, haikus, comics, recipes, etc all about the first kiss. Some were icky, funny, sad, and sweet. Fully recommended!

I am not sure what made a 47 year old male, me, want to read this. I'll bet if I were a teenager I would give it more stars. That is the target audience. That said, there were a couple of lol moments.

First kisses are mysterious to the young and romanticized by many. In the hands of YA authors like Scott Westerfield and Shannon Hale this book does a wonderful and varied job of shining a proverbial literary flashlight into the dark corners of the first kiss by having these master story tellers write about their first kiss.
An incredibly short and fast read; I loved it. There were times I was laughing, smiling, and even gagging. A terrific idea that will sure to captivate all 7th grade readers, even the reluctant ones! For those of us years beyond the first kiss, it was great tapping into the feelings of the pre-kissed.

A collection of stories from different authors about their first kiss(es). I enjoyed this book, and it's a very quick read!

A bunch of authors' memories of their first kiss(es)... I didn't really identify with any of them SINCE THEY WERE ALL LIKE THIRTEEN. I don't know if I'm just weird, but I don't remember anybody really talking about kissing in middle school in my group of friends. All four of us. Okay, maybe I'm not the target audience. But I can at least weigh in that some of the stuff between stories was suuuuuuuuuuuuper lame advice. Did that sound like a thirteen year old?
