Amy Spalding, you had me at Kissing!
Riley and Reid walk in on their band mates making out, which
throws their friendship into a weird place. R & R decide they can have love
and sex with each other’s help, so they create a manifesto and share
information with each other about dating the opposite sex. What could possibly
go wrong?!?
Ms. Spalding’s writing, as per usual, is full of snark which
I’m a huge fan. And she does a great job of throwing R & R into awkward
situations that make you smile. She effortlessly shows us the relationship
between Riley and Reid as they maneuver through dating life.
We only see Reid’s POV via the manifesto while we watch
Riley stumble through gaining her crushes attention. All seems innocent until
she finds herself not only Kissing Ted Callahan but also two other guys!
Music lovers will thoroughly enjoy this one sitting read
while those of us not so in-tune will enjoy the relationships and funny
situations. As with all of Ms. Spalding’s books, our characters find their HEA
or at least what constitutes as one for teens!
I couldn’t put this book down and only forced myself to stop
reading when my kids demanded my attention (how dare they!).
I highly recommend
Kissing Ted Callahan and look forward to Ms. Spalding’s 2016 release.
