#ARCReview #KissingMaxHolden by @katyupperman!
.
Official Synopsis: After his father’s stroke, Max Holden isn't himself. As his long-time friend, Jillian Eldridge only wants to help, but she doesn't know how. When Max climbs through her window one night, Jill knows she shouldn't let him kiss her. But she can’t resist, and when they're caught in the act by her dad, Jill swears it'll never happen again. Because kissing Max Holden is a terrible idea.
With a new baby sibling on the way, her parents fighting all the time, and her dream of culinary school suddenly up in the air, Jill starts spending more and more time with Max. And even though her father disapproves and Max still has a girlfriend, not kissing Max is easier said than done. Will Jill follow her heart, and allow their friendship to blossom into something more, or will she listen to her head and stop kissing Max Holden once and for all?

Rating: 5/5 stars

Review:

Kissing Max Holden is an amazing young adult novel that will captivate both teens and adults alike. Katy Upperman creates wonderfully flawed characters and weaves a realistic teen story that will leave readers desperate for more.
One of my favorite things about this book is Katy's writing style. Most YA books flow easily, as does this one, but in a different way. Katy writes more descriptively than most authors in her genre. While I will admit it takes a chapter or so to get used to, Jillian and Max's story would not have been the same without it! Katy expertly weaves baking analogies into Jillian's experiences, and writes in a way that clearly shows how intelligent Katy herself is! Her word choice is remarkable, and it's the perfect summer read to combine a love of romance and more challenging diction than your average YA novel, which I loved!
