The Kiss Bet, Vol. 2

In this adorable coming-of-age comic for fans of This One Summer by Mariko Tamaki and Jillian Tamaki, and Rainbow Rowell's Pumpkinheads, Sara Lin has decided now is the time—she's going to make her first kiss special and magical.

It's senior year and Sara Lin just turned eighteen. She's got great friends, a cool dad (or so he thinks), and a whole lot ahead of her. The last thing she needs to worry about is her first kiss.

But that's all about to change because her good pal Patrick just challenged her to a bet that will either lead to love, heartbreak, or embarrassment... or maybe all three. Along the way, as Sara explores her relationship options with three different boys, she discovers life isn't a fairytale and romance is inherently complex. It's messy and complicated, but boy, it sure can be fun.

In this second volume of the series, Sara Lin might have lost all her romance-related bets with her friend Patrick so far, but she's determined to make something happen with her crush Joe at the upcoming school festival. First, she has to pass her math exam, which means dealing with her tutor, Oliver, who instantly recognises Sara from their almost kiss at the subway. And Patrick's not quite done; he challenges Sara to the highest-stake bet yet—kiss someone by the end of the festival or be forced to quit the newspaper club. Sara understands that some lessons can't be taught, and that life must be experienced.

This volume collects episodes 19 to 36 of the charming WEBTOON comic The Kiss Bet.
