What a great debut novel.  Amerie and Vincent made interesting characters and were easy to root for.  I do think if we were able to get a point of view from hot astronaut, Vincent, the book would have been fire. I think staying with only Amerie the entire novel made the pacing of the book lull at places.  I missed the tension a dual pov can add to a rom com. I enjoyed the show burn to their romance, though. In general, the fake dating trope can feel forced, but in The Kiss Countdown, it felt authentic and natural. I'll be looking out for more books by Etta Easton.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an opportunity to read and review honestly an advanced digital copy.
