Kissing Lessons

Written by Sophie Jordan

Narrated by Suzy Jackson

SOMETIMES BEING BAD IS VERY GOOD.

Wild, beautiful, and (as rumor has it) experienced, Hayden Vargas doesn’t have time for love or
relationships. She’s learned the hard way that the only person you can count on is yourself and
she’s hell-bent on earning enough money to leave her small Texas town as fast as possible. But
when nerdy Emmaline Martin offers to pay Hayden for lessons in seduction, the money is so
easy, there must be a catch. Enter the catch: Emmaline’s older brother, popular all-around nice
guy™ Nolan Martin, who doesn’t want his sister’s reputation tarnished by the school’s resident
bad girl.

But Hayden isn’t all she appears to be, and neither is Nolan, who may seem like a golden
boy to the whole world but has a few secrets of his own. The more Nolan meddles in her
lessons with Emmaline, the more these polar opposites clash—and the more sparks fly. Turns
out Hayden and Nolan have a few things to teach each other, but only if they’re willing to learn.

Blurbs I read made Hayden sound wilder and tougher that the story reveals. Simply put, she's a smart and talented girl trying to survive high school and her useless mother, while sidestepping heartbreak. Nolan has dealt with heartbreak courtesy of his dad dying, leaving hem with an overgrown sense of responsibility for his mom and two younger sisters. He's had the same girlfriend for two years and it takes some interactions with Hayden to shake him out of the rut he's in. How that gets accomplished is fascinating and comes to the reader from multiple perspectives: Hayden's, Nolan's, his seventeen year old sister Emmaline's and his best friend Beau's. Along the way, there are sparks of attraction for several couples, an intriguing offer by Emmaline to Hayden, feelings of betrayal and some painful, but very necessary growing up. It's a great story and one certainly deserving a place in school and public libraries.
