Kissing Booth fell into the category of books I buy when I need something nice that will make me smile and promises a happy ending. I got exactly what I asked for.

Anyone who knows me knows I’m a sucker for romances, and I couldn’t resist the adorable red and white cover for this one! I loved the idea of an old-fashioned kissing booth and wished I could go to the Spring Carnival with Lisi and her friends. Even though the story is mainly a romance, there’s also a sub-plot on friends growing up and growing apart that I thought added some depth to the story. I liked each of the characters and thought they were all well drawn-even the popular crowd was somewha...more
Kissing Booth is a book for pure enjoyment. Not to be taken very seriously, Kissing Booth is a very light read.
What I enjoyed about the novel was the plot. I loved how it connected with each other and Lexie did a wonderful job in describing an actual high school particularly with its numerous dramas. Kissing Booth is totally cute and talks about things teenagers go through.
The characters' personalities were a bit iffy. Lisi's best friends, Mo and Bella were sucky best friends. One of them, Mo, c...more

Kissing Booth is not something to be taken critically—more of a fun, little whimsical read.
However I do have to point out that I had issues with some things. Mostly on the characters friendship wise. So Lisi has two best girl friends, Mo and Bella. They both annoy me to no end at one point or another.
Mo for instance was Lisi’s best, I mean best!, friend since childhood. After coming back from Paris after spring break, her entire appearance changes. But that does not necessary change her personal...more

this book was interesting and it showed the mind of a true teenager because through the book I learned that the thing your looking for can be right in front of you without knowing it and Mr. Perfect may not really be Mr. Perfect. You shouldn't judge a book by it's cover cause you never know what you might find
A cute, fun little read.
The only complaints I have are that the characters tended to get out of character quite often and sometimes their actions were a little too unbelievable.
Other than that, it was fun, romantic, and well written.

At first I wasn't really into this book. But by the end I was enjoying it. Throughout the book I kinda felt bad for Lisi since it did seem to have everything happen to her and to fall on her shoulders to fix it.
This story is about Lisi a girl that has never been kissed. They have to come up with something big for the spring Carnival. Secretly she has a crush on a guy and comes up with the idea of a Kissing Booth for the Carnival. Most of the book is about her and her firends, and her thinking a...more

It was a cute, fluffy read. Not much to it, and pretty predictable. There was a LOT of language...and of course all about kisses...
Moral Note: LOTS of OMG, heck, dang, etc. Romance pretty mild.

This book was cute. It's one of those easy reads you pick up and spend an afternoon on. The story is pretty predictable,but a sweet little read non the less.
A cute and light fluffy read. However the storyline just had too much exaggerated drama with a lack of substance. I particularly did not like nor could I relate to any of the female protagonists, Johnny however was perhaps the most grounded character..
It was good... The only problem?... I didn't like the end! xD It was a funny story but I was somehow expecting another ending!

This was a cute little love story. Nothing big or heavy but something sweet to read on a cold and cloudy day.
I liked this book okay. I would recomend this book to anyone who is into romance.
Couldn't finish it. Didn't like any of the characters. Slow story. Very disappointing.
This book was really good but the ending was disappointing. Lisi was NBK never been kissed and she was dying it kiss Brett. Mo her ex best friend left Lisi and Bella. Lisi, Bella, and Johnny decided 2 have a Kissing Booth @ the Spring Carnival. They had 2 beat the cheerleaders, aka The Fly Girls, so they could go New York City.
I would have rated this book 5 stars if Lexie Hill would of extended the ending a little bit more. She covers everything except for who won the Grand Prize trip...

LOVED the BOOK...
This book was soooo predictable. You can read the first five chapters or so and you can predict the ending right away. The characters got on my nerves from being so clueless. I really hate the cover for some reason unknown. I have no idea why I wanted to read this book so bad but when I did, I thought in my head, "Wow, I got excited for this? This kinda sucks..."
So this was kinda one of those books that you would read in a doctors waiting room to past the time for a bit....

Sooo. Here's the thing. I liked the characters, I did. Lisi, Bella, Mo, Johnny.... I liked them all. But..... I just didn't really see the point of all their drama? Everybody has crushes and secrets that they don't tell even they most closest confidantes. I didn't really see the need for both of Lisi's friends to get sooooo mad at her over such a silly trifling thing. Am I wrong?
Completely adorable! Lisi is a typical teenager afraid to share her crush with her friends and of growing up. I just loved her. She was so real and normal. And Bella was the perfect friend for her. And what can I say about Johnny? So adorably cute in an understated way. So glad I found this book and read it. Definitely a favorite for sure. Too cute for it not to be.
More like 2.5. This is a Kind of entertaining fast read. My biggest problem... The main character was too passive for her own good. Also, the language was very teensy like, it bugged me at times too. And the other characters didn't get a personality at all. There seem to be too many conflicts, no resolves and one oops-by-the-way... this is the end.
Charming and cute. I could easily see this as an ABC Family movie that I'd get sucked into every time I ran across it.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a very cute story and I really liked how it ended. I enjoyed seeing Lisi figure out what was important and what was frivolent in her life and how what she thought was best was actually hurting her and her friendships. I would certianly read a Lexie Hill book again.
cute but very juvenile
It reminded me a lot of high school and how some of us stay friends in high school/college and how some seem to drift away from each other.
Great Read!
Great Read!
Here is my review of "Kissing Booth": http://jeracalea.blogspot.com/2012/01...
Kinda an easy read but good. I still can't believe Lisi would be so oblivious though, ugh, lol.
Cute story!
