If We Kiss

by Rachel Vail

I chose this book because we had it at home and both of my daughters read it and liked it. It is the story of Charlotte, a high school freshman who has never been kissed until the day Kevin (someone she doesn't even like) pulls her outside and French kisses her. After she gets over the thought of all the germs they just shared and the mildewy taste in her mouth, she decides that she liked it. Immediately after, however, Charlotte and Kevin get pulled into the office because the principal saw the whole thing. It just gets worse from there, because Charlotte starts obsessing about Kevin even though he starts going out with her best friend, and to top it all off, Charlotte's mom and Kevin's dad start dating. Charlotte must decide how she will deal with this mess.
