Review: The Kiss
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 02 1, 2013
PLOT: Eliza is on a date. When the lights go out, she's given an unforgettable kiss. But when the lights come up, she's alone and her date is too far across the room for it to have been him. Eliza and her friend hatch a plan to help her find the man who kissed her.PROS: I liked the idea. It was funny. The pacing is good. It was hard to put down.CONS: It lacks believability on so many points. Nate's reasoning for his behavior towards Eliza makes no sense and is so kindergarten. From the author's description of college, I'm not sure if she actually attended or if she decided to bend it to her needs. It's unlikely that that many people who knew each other in high school would attend the same college. Or if they did that they'd continue to see each other once they attended. It sounded like it was a small town but that the college had dorms contradicts this. Eliza's dorm room had its own bathroom. It wasn't a suite or anything. Just a room with two beds and apparently a bathroom. I've never heard of the like. (If someone else has, please feel free to mention it in the comments.) I also found it unbelievable that Eliza says that she likes the taste of tobacco on the guy who kisses her. I've never had this experience but I've heard it's like licking an ashtray.4 STARS: I wasn't expecting a college romance so I was thrown a bit of a surprise there. Overall, an enjoyable read.
