Review Detail

Scarlett Wakefield has two New Years wishes. The first is
to get boobs. The second is to kiss Dan McAndrew. In a classic case of be
careful what you wish for she gets both of these things. Her boobs grow a
little bit too much, which makes gymnastics a little harder. And when she
finally gets her kiss with Dan McAndrew, he dies with his tongue in her mouth.
Off the bat, everyone blames Scarlett. Her only friends hate her, and shes
been expelled from her school and forced to move back in with her grandmother
who runs the prestigious Wakefield Hall for girls. The police say Dan died of
an extreme allergic reaction. But what was he allergic to? And why didnt he
have his Epi-Pen in his pocket- Something he never left home without? Everyone
is left wondering until Scarlett receives and anonymous note that leads her on
the journey to clearing her own name and finding the true cause of Dans death.

Kiss Me Kill me is a prime example of the dont judge a
book by its cover philosophy. At first glance you might think, Ick! A cheesy
romance novel. But really, this novel contains a very small amount of romance.
The book has that very British- a little bit catty and very witty- feel, which is
something I love. In fact, I wish more American books would have that British
feel. Each character was likeable in different ways. There were some bits in
between the beginning of the chapters that were in handwriting, and while the
handwriting resembled thick black squiggles and was hard to read, it really
added to the mystery. The ending didnt feel rushed at all, and though it ended
abruptly I didnt mind at all. Overall I was really surprised at how much I
enjoyed Kiss Me Kill Me, and though the year has only just started it is my
favorite so far. Hopefully the sequel, Kisses and Lies is even better.
