Kiss Number 8 by Colleen A.F. Venable
Publisher Information: New York, NY: First Second, an imprintof Roaring Brook Press, 2019
Summary: Amanda can't figure out what's so exciting about kissing. It's just a lot of teeth clanking, germ swapping, closing of eyes so you can't see that godzilla sized zit just inches from your own hormonal monstrosity. All of her seven kisses had been horrible in different ways, but nothing compared to the awfulness that followed Kiss Number Eight.
An exploration of sexuality, family, and faith. Kiss Number Eight is a coming-of-age tale filled with humor and hope.
