Kissing the Right Guy by Christina Herrera
5.0
A sweet and romantic YA story that will give you the Mean Girls vibe, but even better. I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Emma is torn between two boys: one who used to be her friend, but she hasn't talked to him in a long time. The other she sees almost every day, yet they aren't exactly close. Jake and Hunter are friends and whatever happens next, things will definitely become awkward between the three.
The story flows beautifully with enough cheesy and frustrating moments to keep the readers entertained. I had almost forgotten what it felt like to be a teenager and this book reminded me of that. At times, it made me smile, and at others, I wanted to throw something across the room in irritation. By the way, these latter moments are all Ashley's fault. Thankfully, Emma got friends like Hannah and Haley to keep the balance. I also loved how her family appears to be a big part of her life. I don't like when authors write YA and leave the families out of it. So, it's refreshing to see that Emma's family is there to love her and support her. I especially loved how her siblings interacted with her.
For the most part, I couldn't decide who is the main lead character, Hunter or Jake. And I think that made it all the more fun to read because you really couldn't tell which one will be the hero of the story and which one will do something stupid to make you hate him. After all, how else would Emma decide unless one of them is a jerk? That part was kind of fun. Overall, it's a lighthearted story that you can enjoy anytime and anywhere. I loved it and would recommend it to my fellow readers.
