A review by christiana
17 First Kisses by Rachael Allen

3.0

I like that this was set in the South and definitely rang true in setting. The end unravels a little for me-I would have liked more on the girls becoming friends again and Claire realizing things about one of her most stable relationships since childhood and Mama getting better. I get though that the book would just get longer and longer (and kudos to the author, the book never dragged for me). I don't think it's time to throw around names like Sarah Dessen and Stephanie Perkins, but I do think Rachael Allen is one to watch. I can think of some teens this would be a super easy sell to (especially if you're looking for a romance with more meat to it).
