#Tour & #Review #Giveaway of 17 First Kisses by @rachael_allen #Published @HarperTeen @EpicReads

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.

Rachael Allen lives in Atlanta, GA where she's working furiously on her PhD in neuroscience. When she's not doing science or writing YA, you can find her chasing after her toddler and her two sled dogs. Her debut YA novel 17 FIRST KISSES, is forthcoming from Harper Teen. Rachael may or may not have had 17 first kisses...luckily she doesn't kiss and tell.

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!

I liked that this one shows pretty much what high school is really like, well at least my high school was.
