You might enjoy this Young Adult novel if you appreciate heartfelt stories about love, friendship, and self-discovery. It offers a charming and reflective look at summer romance and personal growth, perfect for those who enjoy emotionally evocative narratives with a touch of nostalgia.

For fans of Morgan Matson and Ashley Elston comes a contemporary YA rom-com about blind dates, first kisses, and a surprise romance by the author of Someone Else's Summer.

Description

In this rom-com from the author of Someone Else's Summer, a hopeless romantic juggles senior year stress, family problems, and faulty friendships around the end of senior year and prom.

Quincy Walker is a hopeless romantic, so when she's kissed by a stranger in a dark theatre, her rom-com obsessed imagination begins plotting the perfect movie-version ending to her senior year (which ends, like all great high school rom-coms, with the prom).

With the help of her friends, Operation Mystery Kisser is born: a plan to set Quin up on dates with all the guys who were at the theatre that night so she can discover who kissed her. The only problem? Her friends insist on blind dates, and Quin hates letting go of control—just ask the members of her group for her final project for film class.

As prom draws nearer, Quin is no closer to finding who her mystery kisser was, and she's not sure she wants to continue looking. Maybe it's her dad's failing health and her brother's absence; maybe it's the fact that she's fighting with her best friend; or maybe—just maybe—it's that she's falling for a guy who definitely isn't the one she's been looking for.
