Kiss Her Once for Me: A Novel

Product Information

Overall, I wasn't overly in love with this one. I didn't really like any of the characters, maybe just Andrew's grandma, but that's it. I did enjoy the family Christmas traditions though. So, overall, I didn’t enjoy their relationship in the past (insta-love just isn’t for me), and I also didn’t care about them in the present (every moment they had was awkward, cheesy and forced). Basically, this romance gave me NOTHING.

I can’t! It’s ridiculous! You can��t be in love with someone you’ve known for a total of (…) Seven days? You can’t be in love with someone you’ve known for what amounts to a single week!” Why would I leave Phoenix for somewhere wet and cold?” Linds asks, reminding me that my Christmas wishes are always irrelevant. I really need that money, sweetheart. It’s just two hundred dollars.” I can perfectly picture my mother’s pouting face on the other end of the line. Her dark brown hair, which she dyes a stark blond; the natural waves she straightens every morning; the pale skin she’s eradicated through numerous tanning salon punch cards; the high cheekbones she highlights through contouring. You’re so dramatic. You’ve always been like this. Don’t get all sensitive and try to make me feel guilty for not wanting to spend Christmas in the rain.” Sonny from Podunk, FlFor many years, Burl's music provided the ambiance for friendly card games (particularly Spades) throughout the deep South. It is also considered a time-honored method of "therapy" for mental health patients the world over.The anxiety extrapolates and catastrophizes all the way to its natural conclusion: if I’m late for work again, my trash heap of a life will finally be put in the compactor and crushed into a cube of steaming hot garbage once and for all. The Charm Offensive is one of my favorite books of all time and the synopsis for Kiss Her Once for Me sounded phenomenal, but unfortunately this was a big disappointment for me. I love Alison Cochrun’s writing and I will always love her writing, but the content in this story just didn’t work for me. I briefly consider ignoring the call, but Catholic guilt, solidified in infancy, wins out. “Hey, Linds—”

Recommended For You

I could always fly down to Phoenix,” I offer pathetically. So very pathetically. Just a twenty-five-year-old woman, begging her mother to spend Christmas with her. Big-hearted, affirming, and dreamy— Kiss Her Once For Me is an ode to those in search of love, family, and a new lease on life." I don’t let myself think about the brief moment last Christmas when I thought I’d found someone to ease the ache, a person to call home. this was such a messy, cute and fun romcom. it had so much depth, so much representation & diversity, amazing characters, such an interesting plot, holiday vibes and many taylor swift references.
