MY TAKE
This book was so fun. Kat is smart and cute and spunky. I loved her friendship with Tate. The way they teased each other with a good sense of humor was fun. Things change between them though when Tate’s sister Piper finds out that a bunch of the girls in her friend group–including Kat–have never been kissed. They’ve just graduated from high school, and this is likely their last summer together. Piper sets a goal for them to be kissed before the end of summer.
Since Kat has been crushing on Tate for three years and has always wanted him to be her first kiss, she’s less than enthusiastic. Oddly enough, when Tate hears about it, he turns all weird. He’s had plenty of girlfriends over the years but none of them seem to last. He even has a girlfriend right now. So why is he acting so weird?
This is a fun story about a girl who has to learn to speak up for what she wants–not just to Piper but to others in her life who think they get to decide what’s best for her.
The romance is swoony. I highly recommend this short, sweet read.
Before We Say Goodbye is a story of coming of age love for two young people that had grew up being around each other for years. Tate had a crush on Katriel, but due to his sister Piper being friends with her and being the older brother, he had kept his crush to himself as had Kat. But, with graduation being over and this the last summer before everyone went their separate ways, he could wait no longer when Kat is approached by a guy at the beach and they enjoy the time together then make a date. Tate was trying to wait till Kat had her 18th birthday about a week away, but he was not letting some tourist from out of town give Kat her first kiss. It had to be him. It is a sweet story for anyone enjoying reading about young love.
A sweet YA read! I loved this story, because really, who didn’t have a crush on their friend’s brother growing up? This story takes me back to summertime fun and first kisses, which makes for the perfect beach read!
Kat was just about to turn 18 years old. She had been crushing on Tate, her best friend’s older brother for several years. But, she was sure he would never see her as anything as his little sister’s best friend. Besides, he had a new girl on his arm at every turn. She could never tell anyone her secret. But her friend was determined to help “arrange” for her first kiss. Kat was determined that she would only be satisfied if her first kiss was from Tate.
This was a sweet, clean young adult romance that could be enjoyed by those of all ages. The chemistry was well written and the story has a happy ending. I enjoyed reading it very much.
I was given a copy of the book and I willingly offer my honest review.
Loved this book! Definitely one I’ll reread. Excited for the next one in the series!
comes Piper’s mission to get her kissed before the end of summer when they’ll all go to college. But Kat doesn’t want to be kissed by just any guy–she wants to be kissed by Piper’s older brother, Tate, who she’s had a major crush on for the past 3 years!
This story is about first times and finding yourself. Not just Kat’s first kiss, but her first love, and figuring out what she really wants to do and having the courage to do it. She realizes she’s always done what’s been expected of her and not rocked the boat, but she doesn’t want to go away to college because she doesn’t know what she wants to study.
I don’t read a lot of YA books, but these characters have graduated high school so there wasn’t as much teenage drama. This is a fun summer read, and had me thinking back to my high school graduation (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth) and applying for a summer job like Kat did. I loved that her summer job is what helped her decide what she really wanted to do.
There were a lot of sweet moments like when Piper threw Kat a spur of the moment surprise birthday party, and when Tate gave her a box of her favorite donuts as a gift. Aww. Let’s not forget that totally swoony, toe-curling first kiss. (sigh)
This is a clean romance.
A wonderful YA romance. I loved it.
