Eva is a New York City girl, who has a small (alright, pretty big) obsession with romance novels. Ever since her dad died, she’s found solitude in them: she loves the happy endings and hopes for one herself. When she starts tutoring Will, a handsome boy whose family owns a cupcake store, she wants to ride off into the sunset with him. After he kisses her and they bond over poetry and plan hangouts in the Strand over the summer, Will announces that he’s moving to California. Heartbroken, Eva searches long and far to find an excuse good enough for her over-protective mom to let her go. When the chance to win a $200,000 scholarship comes up, Eva and her best friend Annie take off on a road trip across the country. A fun, cute contemporary love story, KISSING IN AMERICA will resonate with fans of road trips and high-school love stories.
My thoughts:
This was such an enjoyable read! I love that Eva loves romance novels and I totally see why; it’s an escape into a perfect world with a happy ending from her life which isn’t all flowers and unicorns. Her dad’s death impacted her so much and she finds solace in the made-up stories. It is so awesome when she quotes one and I can totally imagine someone having an affinity for them. I love road trips and with Aunt Janet this trip is one heck of a ride. Aunt Janet goes around to places talking about diseases teens can get from kissing, just so you get an idea. This cover is adorable, and Margo Rabb is one of the coolest people ever. So, overall, Kising in America is a super fun read that you should definitely pick up!
