About This Book:
A usually-honest middle schooler fibs about having been kissed then rushes to lock lips with someone before her lie is uncovered in this charming and relatable middle grade rom-com.
Millie hates liars. Ever since her mom lied to their family about the six-month affair she was having, Millie has pledged to always tell the truth, no matter what. But when her classmate Logan asks her—in the middle of study hall with everyone listening—whether she’s kissed anyone, she panics. She panics and lies, saying she has.
Afterward, Millie spirals. She hasn’t only broken her most important rule, she’s done it badly. Millie’s sure everyone knows she was fibbing. The only way out is to make reality catch up to her lies by changing her kiss status and getting a boyfriend…as quickly as possible.
But Millie’s mission keeps getting foiled by Logan, who suddenly seems to be there at every turn. Millie starts to wonder why Logan cares so much in the first place. Could it be that when he asked about her first kiss, it wasn’t to embarrass her at all?

Twists and Turns
Her best friend, Hannah, thinks that finding a way out of Millie’s lie involves making it turn into the truth, so she works with Millie to plan the ultimate redemption—a first kiss that will make everyone forget there was ever a lie to begin with. When they decide that Caleb is the guy she should have this kiss with, it isn’t as easy as it might have been, especially because Caleb happens to be Millie’s twin brother’s best friend and she’s known him forever. This, coupled with the fact that Logan keeps showing up everywhere she goes, makes it quite difficult to get that first kiss. However, as she gets to know Caleb in a different light and Logan keeps appearing randomly, she realizes that her expectations—and even her desires—are possibly taking a turn, and she doesn’t quite know what to make of that.
This middle grade contemporary romance has its share of twists and turns that are not always expected, but they keep readers on their toes, interested till the last page.
