Ok everyone I need helpDoes anyone know of a book that has on the cover or in the book (character in book) chewing gum?
I'm in this other challenge and I'm stuck
Please help!!!!!
Jennifer, Alona Dare's ex-boyfriend chewed gum before he kissed her. 
Also, I believe Stephanie Plum chews gum a lot in her books. You can always go to Google.books and pull in the book, then do a search for the word gum.
I'm off to a bit of a late start, but here we go.... I'm going to try for 87/8
