Senior Spring Break is supposed to be the best week of a college student's life. It's supposed to be the last hurrah before graduation and real-life issues come to fruition. Eden Brady's Spring Break was nothing what she thought it was going to be. Her boyfriend broke up with her 3 days before they were going to San Padre, Texas, stole her hotel room, and she lost her luggage. Down on her luck, in a small island town where she knew no one, she finds the only place in town that has vacancy, the Palm Palace, a run-down motel who's owner is anything but friendly.Kissing Eden has a fun story but the execution fell a bit flat. It's not a bad book, don't think I'm putting it down. Eden is a likable character and Grey is an enigma. He's full of excuses, which I believe, but they are still excuses. The entire book takes place within 9 days, and it's pretty much insta-love. That just didn't work for me. The two had a very basic relationship what while I think could lead to love, but for a relationship that was based purely on sex, it was not love.I really enjoyed the secondary characters the best. San Padre was filled with some colorful characters. Marin was awesome in the way she helped Eden out. Mac seemed like a really great guy. Connor and Pick were hilarious. If I could have a book about what goes on in San Padre everyday, I would be super happy.
