I was given the opportunity to receive a NetGalley arc copy of this amazing graphic novel from Ingrid Ochoa.
The Kiss Bet is a funny coming of age story following a senior in high school, Sara Lin in her attempt at having her first kiss as a late bloomer. With the constant goading and bets placed by her best friend Patrick, she finds herself in various awkward situations revolving around guys and seems to dig herself in bigger holes than before.
As an adult I found this read quite refreshing and hilarious. The relationship between Sara Lin and the other characters reminds me so much of the cartoons I've grown up with. It would be amazing to see this animated one day. I really enjoyed this short volume and can't wait to read the next few installments in this series.
Side note: I swore I read something similar a long time ago and just realized that this was a webtoon novel at some point. Glad to see it being traditionally published!
