Kissing Kate.

- Lauren Myracle.

"Kate and Lisa were best friends. Then one night last summer at a drunken party, Kate leaned in to kiss Lissa, and Lissa kissed her back. Now Kate is pretending Lissa doesn't exist. Confused and alone, Lissa's left questioning everything she thought she knew about herself, and about life. But with the help of a new friend, Lissa is beginning to realize that sometimes falling in love with the wrong person is the only way to find your footing." - Taken from the back of the book.

I first read this book when I was in my early teens and dealing with my own sexuality. I'd like to think that I'm not the only person who has found or will find out more about themselves and self-acceptance throughout this read.

Kissing Kate is an LGBT read done right, it's a story that sadly, a lot of kids would find themselves being able to relate to. It reminds those who are questioning their sexualities that it is perfectly normal, and I've learned that that's exactly what some people need.

This book was more than just your typical coming of age story, though, it had just as much laughs as tears and has something in it for everybody to enjoy. Don't just take my word for it, though, pick up the book yourself, form your own opinions, grab a blanket, make some tea, and remember to keep warm and read.
