hazelstaybookish 's review for:
The Kissing Booth
by Beth Reekles
Actual rating: 3.5
Hooray
- Has the two elements I always look for in a YA novel: sweet (in a cute way, not the makes-you-wanna-puke-way) and funny
- Characters were not only lovable but also fun to read
- I love the way relationships were built in the book: Lee and Elle's bestfriends/twins forever bond and Elle and Noah's love-hate romance.
- This has been the only book I have read that has pulled off the boy-girl bestfriends perfectly. I didn't get sad that Lee and Elle didn't end up together. (I usually want female protagonists to end up with their best friend) In fact, their relationship was so beautifully platonic that it made my heart swoon even more than I probably would have if they got together.
- No angst.
- The flow of the story was smooth and well-coordinated.
- It was bold of Reekles to go with an unconventional ending. I liked that.
- Reekles really impressed me with her debut novel. I've never read any of her wattpad stories before this one but I can see why she was dubbed "Teen wattpad star"
Boohoo
- Rochelle and Noah are too perfect to be real or relatable. I mean she's Ms. Popular (friends with everyone and gets asked out by all the boys during the dance) and he's Mr. Badass (all the girls want him and all the boys tremble with fear when they see him).
