About this book

In this laugh-out-loud coming-of-age novel based on the wildly popular webcomic, Sara Lin has decided senior year is the time she's going to make something special happen: her first kiss.

This clean teen contemporary YA rom-com about first love and friendships is perfect for fans of To All the Boys I've Loved Before and Rainbow Rowell's Pumpkinheads.

Based on the hit WEBTOON comic, The Kiss Bet follows Sara Lin on her quest to experience her first kiss. Told from both Sara and Patrick's point of view, The Kiss Bet shows that life--and love--can be messy and complicated, but it sure can be fun.

It's senior year and Sara Lin just turned eighteen. The last thing she needs is to worry about having her first kiss.

Sara understands that her first kiss is a rite of passage, one that she takes very seriously, even if everyone around her doesn't. She wants it to be special--true love's kiss--and wants to fall for someone she really cares about, not just get it over with.

But that's about to change because her good pal Patrick just challenged her to a bet that will either lead to love, heartbreak, or embarrassment . . . or maybe all three.

As Sara explores her relationship options with three different boys, she realizes that life isn't a fairytale and romance can be confusing.
