'Aphrodite kissed a mortal once by the light of this moon, many thousands of years ago. It drove him crazy. The next person that he kissed - boum. The craziness travelled like this from person to person. It travelled through time. Everywhere - boum! Tu comprends?' 'Where did it end up?' I whisper. His lips are on my cheek now. 'It ended with me. And now I am going to pass it to you. You will like that, mermaid?' Imagine the perfect kiss. A legendary kiss that makes people crazy with love. Imagine a summer's night, on a moonlit beach in the South of France, as French boy Laurent kisses 16-year-old Delilah after the best chat-up line she's ever heard. BOOM! Delilah is pretty sure the Kiss is fiction, despite her head-spinning holiday fling. But with all the sudden crushes, break-ups and melt-downs happening back at home, the Kiss starts looking a little too real for comfort. If only Delilah could keep track of where it's gone ... Who knew one kiss could cause this much trouble? A hilarious rom-com that will delight Geek Girls everywhere! No library descriptions found. |

I loved the premise of this book--that Delilah had caught Aphrodite's kiss. The girls did research on the topic and had some fun examples of how it had been passed along through time. I loved the way the kiss operated and the manners in which they tried to control it. I loved the ending.
However, the premise was not all there was to this plot. From jobs to zombies to musicals, this book covered a lot of ground. Though it was a whirlwind, it was easy to follow and I was constantly curious as to what would happen next in these character's lives. I was surprised by the amount of bar-hopping that happened at sixteen, but it definitely moved the story on.
This book was just a ton of fun to read. Delilah is all over the place, and her woes with money mismanagement and struggling to feed herself, not wanting to ask her parents for help, resonated heavily with me. It did, however, feel a little juvenile at points and lacked substance.
I loved Delilah and Tabby as characters--they were great female leads and Delilah especially had a strong voice and a bubbling personality. Their antics were amusing and Delilah felt very real.
While there was nothing very substantial to this book, it had a sweet ending and fun characters and was worth the read.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. (
