Kiss Me, Maybe by Gabriella Gamez is the second book in the Librarians in Love series! I love the premise of this book in general; going viral on social media and then using that to leverage your life and experiences is so fun and unserious. Angela is a “late-bloomer” in both “experience” and still figuring out her sexuality. Kiss Me Maybe has representation of sexuality of both FMC’s an ACE lesbian, and bisexual: I love that that sexuality and identity is fluid throughout the whole book and the care and the conversations surrounding feeling misunderstood and confused felt so real. 

If you read Gamez's first book and loved the messiness, you will not be disappointed with the level of mess in Kiss Me, Maybe. This Sapphic novel 

Kiss Me, Maybe was narrated by Ruby Corazon, who did a fantastic job capturing Angela's moods and feelings. You can tell that the narrator immersed themselves in the book and fit Angela's vibes perfectly. I’m an audiobook lover and had a great time with this one! 

This book is messy and fun. I loved Angela using social media to “date the city,” and this scavenger hunt sounds like so much fun! And it’s set in San Antonio, TX, so I'm obsessed! Overall, the book was 10/10. Gabriella Gamez quickly became an auto-buy author, knocking her second novel out of the park! 

Thank you to NetGalley, Forever Audio, and Gabriella Gamez for the ACL copy to review!
