No matter how many boys Claire kisses, she can’t seem to find a decent boyfriend. Someone who wouldn’t rather date her gorgeous best friend, Megan. Someone who won’t freak out when he learns about the tragedy her family still hasn’t recovered from. Someone whose kisses can carry her away from her backwoods town for one fleeting moment.Until Claire meets Luke.
But Megan is falling for Luke, too, and if there’s one thing Claire knows for sure, it’s that Megan’s pretty much irresistible.
With true love and best friendship on the line, Claire suddenly has everything to lose. And what she learns—about her crush, her friends, and most of all herself—makes the choices even harder.
In her moving debut, Rachael Allen brilliantly captures the complexities of friendship, the struggles of self-discovery, and the difficulties of trying to find love in high school. Fans of Sarah Ockler, Susane Colasanti, and Stephanie Perkins will fall head over heels for this addictive, heartfelt, and often hilarious modern love story.

My Review- 4 Stars-Worth Reading
This book was both cute and way out there. Its a book of back stabbing-boyfriend stealing mean girls with a twist of true friendship, love, and of course 17 kisses. The time phrase for all of this is graduating high school and down. It follows the life of Claire, her joys, fears, heart aches, and some family issues. It has the message that you should look inside yourself to the person you are. Find who you truly are and don't try to be what others want you to be. Because you can't be with someone else without knowing yourself.Go Into This One Knowing
So into this one knowing that things start out a little slow. You won't find out what is going on with her mom for a few chapters. There is a LOT of Back Stabbing BoyFriend stealing going on. If you are looking for a sweet contemporary this is so not it!"All opinions are 100% honest and my own."
