**I received this book from Random House through NetGalley for an honest review.**Julie writes for Stiletto, a very popular woman's magazine. She is part of the famous trio that writes about Dating, Love and Sex. Julie's specialty is the first date, the sizzling first kiss. She's assigned a topic she knows next to nothing about, "How to Take Relationships to the Next Level?". After a lot of freaking out Julie and her best friends come up with a plan.Mitchell is a Wall Street guy. He's the type that stays in a relationship too long with the expectations of putting a ring on the woman he's with finger. At first glance Mitchell looks like the perfect guy for Julie but he has plans of his own.I really enjoyed After the Kiss. Julie and Mitchell had me laughing a lot with their back and forth digs. They both had great personalities which made them even more likeable. Mitchell was a lot more confident than one would expect and it worked for him. Julie was good at what she does. Her breakdown of the seven kinds of first kisses was classic. Julie's inner monologue was pretty funny as well.To me it read like RomCom I'd normally watch. Opposite enough to fit perfectly. When it was over it left me wanting more which is a good thing. Great novella that has me looking forward to more from Lauren.
