I have found a new author to love! In her blurb for It's in His Kiss, Quinn warns, "...it might make you snort diet Coke out your nose." I took her at her word and kept my drink at a safe distance. Glad I did. This book was freaking hilarious! I sat and read and chuckled and then howled with laughter until I was gasping for breath and my sides were hurting...but I continued...I am such a masochist.Jenna Jameson (not THAT one) is a successful young adult author who has a problem. She needs to 'mature' her popular teenage character by having her experience her first kiss. Jenna is in a panic. She doesn't think she can (or wants) to write about those 'first kiss' feelings. So, she enlists the help of her friend, Lisbeth who has PLENTY of experience in this area. I thought I would love Lisbeth at first. Who doesn't like to read about an over-the-top best friend. I quickly discovered that she is a first class beatch!. And, she's not even the kind you can sort of tolerate, the bold, brash, what-you-see-is-what-you-get girl but the sly, sneaky, don't-turn-your-back-or-you-will-find-a-knife-in-it kind of hussy. Lisbeth, being the good friend she is (NOT) forces Jenna to a bar for some 'research' and finds a man for Jenna to 'research' with. What follows is one of those reads I long for...infuriating (because of Lisbeth) uproariously funny (because of Jenna and her reaction to the situations she finds herself in) and heartwarming (just because-don't want to give too much away).There is only one problem I have with Caitie Quinn's writing. She doesn't write fast enough! I need more, more, more of her work!
