Review
What at first glance might seem a light teen romance, Kissing in America is, in fact, a very emotionally heavy read. Eva and her mother are two years out from losing their father and husband in a plane crash. They are both still struggling to deal with their grief, and have not been able to move on with their lives. For Eva, everything changes when she meets Will, and turns her life inside out to go and visit him across the country. In the end, it is a love story, but not romantic love. It is about all kinds of love, from mother/daughter to friends, and everything in between.
Overall Book Score: very good
