17 First Kisses by Rachael Allen

3.0

This was an okay story and I liked the flashback structure with each kiss and how it happened interspersed with the present events, but I won't be adding it to my classroom library. There are some subtle messages about popularity, friendship, and boys/relationships, that I can't support promoting to my students. I understand that at that age, all of that is of the utmost importance to many girls, and there are some subplots with family that are well done, but the overall tone of the book concerned me.
