My Neighbor's Kiss is a short story that takes place in an earlier time. Jade, the main character is expected to find a suitable husband. Her father passed away a few years ago, and her mother needs one of her three daughters to marry up. The Peterson's already had to let their servants go, and they can't afford the day-to-day expenses too much longer. Drake Edwards is the flirty, wayward neighbor. Jade wants Drake. Drake wants to "enjoy" himself and his youth.... Or so he thinks.My Neighbor's Kiss is short and entertaining; it only took me about 30 minutes to complete this entire novel. It was enjoyable and unique, but it wasn't OMG amazing.My Neighbor's Kiss is great for a fun escape. I didn't think it was very realistic, but it was interesting. This isn't a sweet romance. It has its tender moments, but it's not all sweet and sappy.I am still not exactly sure when this novel took place. This was a problem for me because it kept me from connecting with the story and the characters. I didn't really understand the characters behaviors and reactions (because I am not from their time/world/etc.).I gave My Neighbor's Kiss by Misty Larks 3 STARS (2.5 STARS- I rounded up). I recommend this novel for older young adults looking for something short and unique.TO READ MORE REVIEWS CHECK OUT MY BLOG ON BLOGSPOT: READING, EATING AND DREAMING I WAS BLAIR WALDORF
