So today's review is on a book called The Kissing Booth by Beth Reekles. Here's the summary in a nutshell: A girl named Elle and her best friend Lee decide for the school carnival to open a kissing booth, hence title. They open it and Lee's brother Noah (AKA Flynn) kisses Elle so they begin a "relationship" and many problems occur. So my first thought was this sounds interesting. I was wrong. This book in my honest opinion was not very good. Let me explain why. Elle is not strong or smart or anything. I found her quite dull. She makes so many stupid choices. And Noah the "bad boy" is not bad at all. Let's be honest how many bad boys get accepted to Harvard, have all A's, and is the school's football quarterback? None. Then the problem in the book is so ridiculous. Elle is worried Lee will be mad at her for dating his brother but the whole book Lee is teasing her for liking Noah and he knows she does. It made no sense. Then she had to get the relationship cleared with Lee before she said yes to date Noah. Is he her dad? Elle acts more in love with Lee than she does with Noah. She was always like "I can't bear to lose Lee! But its okay to lose Noah, I mean i love him but not as much as Lee." Uh, okay. WTH. And then not only was the logic and conflict faulty so was the romance! They sneak around and have sex when not even a week after her first kiss! And they weren't dating! She was 16. Do it at whatever age you want but i thought that the story was erratic. I think it was poorly written and i DO NOT recommend anyone under 16 to read this book. Actually i do not recommend anyone to read this book. 1 star. And i gave it one because i liked the names, or it would've gotten no stars.
