She never thought a kiss could kill... Samantha didn't mean to hurt anyone. She was just trying to fit in...And she wanted to make Zee a little jealous after he completely ditched her for a prettier girl. So she kissed Alex. And then he died—right in her arms. Sam is now the school pariah and a media sensation. Consumed with guilt, she'll have to find strength that goes way deeper than the fastest time in the 200–meter butterfly. Because if she can't figure out how to forgive herself, no one else will either. Praise for Janet Gurtler: "Powerful...a gripping read."—VOYA "Just right for fans of Sarah Dessen and Jodi Picoult."—Booklist "Reminiscent of Judy Blume, this is a book for the keeper shelf."—RT Book Reviews, 4½ stars

Initial thoughts: This was my first official read of 2013. Verdict? Very lukewarm, this book had some potent moments of grief, but I couldn't overcome several issues I had in the duration and aftermath of reading it. I hope I can explain my thoughts more in the full review.Full review: Since read...
I really enjoyed Who I Kissed and finished this book in one sitting. I loved how it was organized into beginning, during, and after sections because it made the story flow really well.Samantha was a character that instantly felt real to me. She recently started a new school and she loves swimming. H...
3.5 starsWho I Kissed is a book which brings to the forefront just how dangerous allergies can be. Alex in this book suffers from a nut allergy, not knowing this Sam kisses him after eating a peanut butter sandwich, consequently he has a anaphylactic reaction and dies, just that brief kiss, and what...
My Rating: 3.0 The first thing I have to say is that I love the idea of Who I Kissed. Someone getting killed by a simple kiss? How is that possible? Well, little do you know, it is entirely possible. The hardest part of reading Who I Kissed was watching Sam head toward a downward spiral and being...
