Synopsis

Charlie Collins has never been kissed. She’s never been in love, either. Charlie’s beautiful best friend, Tess, has kissed three boys, and fallen immediately, indescribably in love with each one of them. When Charlie unexpectedly finds herself drawn to Kevin Lazarus, of all people, she’s in a mess of trouble right away. For one thing, Tess likes him—really likes him. Even worse, could Kevin’s father possibly be starting to date Charlie’s mom, who suddenly can’t stop smiling? With everybody involved, there’s nobody to confide in; as secrets pile onto deceptions, Charlie has to figure this one out for herself. But even as she tries to pull away from Kevin, Charlie can’t stop wondering, What would happen if we kiss?
