21 Stolen Kisses by Lauren Blakely

4.0

I’m SO torn about this book.

Obviously the writing is amazing because it’s Lauren Blakely.

The relationship between Kennedy and her mother was powerful, sad and frustrating. I wanted to grab Jewel and shake sense into her and force Kennedy to tell her how much she was hurting because of her mothers behavior. The relationship between Kennedy and her father was the saving grace, even though he too made a few mistakes that weren’t in the best interest of Kennedy.

The love story between Noah and Kennedy was beautiful. The secret meetings and stolen kisses were so sweet. The way that Noah longed to be with Kennedy but respected that she needed to be ready, all the while holding steadfast in his feelings for her made me fall in love with him too.

But I have to admit, I’m having a hard time with their age difference. Well, not even their age difference but rather the stage of life Kennedy is in when their love affair begins compared to where Noah is.
