Six Times We Almost Kissed (And One Time We Did) by Tess Sharpe is a tantalising and heartwarming tale that sweeps readers into the lives of Penny and Tate, two young souls bound by fate and circumstances but divided by personal conflicts and unspoken feelings. Penny and Tate have known each other for as long as they can remember, their lives intertwined thanks to their mothers' close friendship. Despite this, the two are far from friends. Their relationship is rife with tension and unresolved emotions, with each almost-kiss adding to the mix of confusion and attraction that neither is willing to confront. Yet, destiny has other plans, as their mothers decide to have them move in together. This close proximity forces Penny and Tate to navigate their complex feelings and the undeniable chemistry between them. An almost-kiss transforms into a full-blown kiss, pushing them to finally face the music and explore what their connection truly means. The author of The Girls I've Been brings readers another captivating slow-burn queer romance that will leave you breathless and longing for more. Sharpe's storytelling is nothing short of compelling, perfectly blending humour, tension, and heartfelt moments. Praise for The Girls I've Been:
