The Kissing Booth
by Beth Reekles
Oh dear. This book- this book was a mess to the point where I would legitimately tear it apart had it not been on my kindle. When you hear a bookworm saying that they would tear apart a book, that's your cue to leave this forever in the dusty not picked up pile.
Honestly, this whole book was just making out, screaming at each other, fighting, and characters acting like all around stereotypical abusive teenagers. To put it simply. So you're got a shaky foundation. To add to that, I found quite a few typos and grammatical errors, and the author's writing style wasn't good to begin with. So you're adding some cheap bones to that house. Then, to top it all off, this book is problematic in terms of the main character keeps deciding to come back to an unreliable, abusive idiot. So obviously our house fell down.
To start this book off, we have Elle and Liam lay around not doing anything, cracking offensive jokes that rely on gender standards. So that was a fun twenty percent. Then, the kissing booth starts to come into play and they talk about it more and more and you have some more jokes about how boys can't wear dresses and girls can't like masculine things. So even more fun there. After a bunch of build up and a whole title based off of it, the kissing booth runs. Elle kisses Noah. The kissing booth runs for a full five pages. So that's where our making out, fighting, screaming, and abuse comes in. The rest of the book on is just that. Making out, fighting, screaming, and abuse. This is the most basic book that I have ever read with my own two eyes. How this got published? How it got adapted by Netflix? Unfortunately, my calculator does not compute these highly unrealistic, just simply stupid events.
So we're just going to talk about why this is problematic. Basically, Noah's been going around telling boys that he'll hurt them if they ask Elle on a date. So we have him controlling her dating life already
