Kissing Max Holden
Kissing Max Holden | Katy Upperman
14 posts | 14 read | 9 to read
Jilly. . . if you tell me to go home, I will. After his father has a life-altering stroke, Max Holden isn't himself. His long-time friend Jillian Eldridge only wants to help him, but she doesn't know how. So when he climbs through her window one night, she knows that she shouldn't let him kiss her. But she does. When they're caught in the act by her dad, she swears it'll never happen again. Because kissing Max Holden is a terrible idea. With a new baby sibling on the way, and her parents fighting all the time, Jillian spends more and more time with Max. And not kissing Max is easier said than done, even though she knows he still has a girlfriend. Will Jill follow her heart, and allow their kisses to blossom into something more, or will she listen to her head and stop kissing Max Holden altogether?

Playing catch up on #BeatleMaynia
Day 9: All My Lovin' - “Close your eyes and I'll kiss you“
Day 10: Ticket to Ride- I would love a ticket to the Night Circus!
Day 11: Day Tripper- The Silence of the Girls is about the Trojan War and I really want to read it because it's all about Briseis, Achilles' concubine
Day 12: Into the Still Blue- “Because the sky is blue“
So now I just have to pick a book for today's prompt and I'll be all caught up!

Need a fun read this weekend? Pick up #KissingMaxHolden by @katyupperman it is full of swoons and lots of angst! This is what our reviewer had to say about it "KISSING MAX HOLDEN...is an entertaining and thoughtful read. Katy Upperman has created a novel that is going to capture teens and get them to keep reading the whole way through her addicting blend of mystery, romance and drama."

I forgot I had requested this from #NetGalley so I was pleasantly surprised when I got the approval email. I have been coveting this one for some time. The cover and premise had me hooked. Overall, it was good, a pick, but not as good as I had hoped. This is pretty much how I feel about all the Swoon books I've tried. I like the idea of the imprint but because of the crowdsourcing format I don't think the books get edited as much as they should.

I was really excited to read this book, and I LIKED it, but I had some issues with it. The premise of this book was a lot of the draw for me. I found the main characters, Max & Jillian, to be a realistic kind of flawed. High school & family drama played a large part in the evolution of their relationship, but I found myself wanting more of Max & Jillian as 'Max & Jillian.'

3.5 stars - still recommend!

Would you kiss your best friend to make them feel better even if it was a really bad idea and could ruin your friendship???

I really liked this. It was sweet, sassy, and angsty and I loved it. Oh...and all the baking Jilly does too. Yum.

Kissing Max Holden is a lovely summer read. Max and Jilly are so perfect. I absolutely ADORED them and rooted for them so hard. They're next door neighbors and longtime friends, but drifted apart after a life-changing misfortune. That is, until one very steamy KISS. A kiss that sparks an unexpected attraction...

While I did end of up enjoying it, and reading it all in one sitting, I did have a huge problem with some things between Max and Jill. Jill's dad was THE WORST. I thought the first thing was bad, but the second thing, ugh, her dad knows no bounds. What I really loved about the book was Jill's relationship with her stepmother and how it evolved. Upperman does a great job with this, and many of the other family relationships and friendships.

Need a little YA romance in my life right now. Also, I get to meet the author in August when she comes to @FountainBookstore for a signing! #eArc #edelweiss
