6 Times We Almost Kissed [and One Time We Did]

6 Times We Almost Kissed [and One Time We Did]

Tess Sharpe

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Six moments lead us to two girls, one kiss, and three little words that were maybe always true in this gorgeous novel perfect for fans of Nina LaCour and Jenny Han. Penny and Tate have always clashed. Unfortunately, their mothers are lifelong best friends, so the girls’ bickering has carried them through playdates, tragedy, and more than one rom-com marathon with the Moms. When Penny’s mother decides to become a living donor to Tate’s mom, ending her wait for a liver transplant, things go from clashing to cataclysmic. Because in order to help their families recover physically, emotionally, and financially, the Moms combine their households the summer before senior year. So Penny and Tate make a pact: They’ll play nice. Be the drama-free daughters their mothers need through this scary and hopeful time. There’s only one little hitch in their plan: Penny and Tate keep almost kissing. It’s just this confusing thing that keeps happening. You know, from time to time. For basically their entire teenaged existence. They’ve never talked about it. They’ve always ignored it in the aftermath. But now they’re living across the hall from each other. And some things—like their kisses—can’t be almosts forever.

    Real Rating-4.5. I'm not on the blog tour for this book, I'm not even sure why I got it, the book just showed up at my house one day. 6 Times We Almost Kissed (And One Time We Did) is a delightful tale of finding yourself, finding out who your true friends are, and finding love. Penny and Tate are the main characters, and I enjoyed both of their points of review immensely. Penny starts off as a distant character, but she really opens up as you learn more about her and her story. I'm one of those readers who needs the plot to engage me, and Six Times We Almost Kissed (And One Time We Did) was a story that gripped me from beginning to end. This was my first novel from Tess Sharpe, and I loved the writing so much. The dedication at the start of the novel gives a shout to all the fanfiction writers and readers, and I loved that. The formatting and style of this book really read like fanfiction because of the chapter titles. There is a romance in this book, and the reader will be waiting for the day when they do kiss. The romance in this book is sweet because you go on a real journey with Penny and Tate. I recommend this book for fans of fanfiction, especially ones where your favorite couple kisses, and fans of LGBTQ+ fiction.
