Pros: I did not read How to Keep a Boy From Kissing You, but Kissing Games explained everything I needed to know.
-Aurora's message of the Find a Prince/Princess Program was really empowering and overlooked in a lot of YA fiction. It was very "we accept the love we think we deserve" esque.

Cons: The whole book was about teen, high school drama that is not important in the grand scheme of life. It is such a common trap for YA contemporary fiction.
-Hayden was too perfect. He bought Aurora an expensive necklace way too early in their relationship and seemed to have limitless patience despite some antics. I did not read the first book, so I missed out on falling for him along with Aurora, so that may have contributed to my apprehension.
-Jelena is a bossy harpy and not in a good way.
-Aurora states her deep and surprisingly mature motives waaaay too plainly for a 16 to 17 year old. I understand why Tara Eglington wrote that way, but some subtlety would help Aurora's inner musings be more realistic.
-I was really confused as to where the book took place. I knew this version is published for the United States audience, so I assume incorrectly Tara Eglington was European. (Fun fact: She is from Austraila! Now camping in a 100ºF forest makes sense.) The book is set in a town called Jefferson, so I thought the book was set in America. A fair amount of non-American slang and phrasing is used, which further confused me about the setting. I still do not know where in the world the setting is. I thought an American edition would smooth out the Aussisms. 

I gave the book 2 out of 5 stars because I honestly really struggled to get through it. What saved it from being a 1 star was the clearly identified the deeper, more mature messages of the book.

I loved it! There was so much heart in this book and I choked up numerous times. I also chuckled consistently throughout the entire book. Aurura is one of the most relatable, likeable female characters in YA contemporary fiction I've ever come across. She's strong, yet vulnerable. She's confident yet also insecure. She's loyal and passionate and definitely someone I'd be proud to call my daughter or have as my friend! I look forward to reading more from Tara Eglington.

A thoughtful book, much more in-depth and fleshed out than YA books usually are, made for those thirsty for reading material that is much more than what is currently available.

Such a sweet,funny and charming story!I enjoy reading it and I find myself sometimes to not want to finish it because it felt really good!This story is a lovely book for a teen or young at heart, it has  great characters and the plot was great!If you like cute romance, this book is for you.

Kissing Games was a quirky, fun story about love and friendships. I LOVED the writing. It was witty and entertaining. Not many books actually make me LOL but this one did multiple times. I didn't know it was part of a series but it read fine as a standalone too. I will be looking for the first book tho! I absolutely adored all the characters in Kissing Games and I'm eager to see where this series goes from here!

This book is an adorable follow-up to Tara Eglington's first Aurora Skye' novel. I read the first book right after I received this ARC, and enjoyed both volumes. Fun, light reads with well-developed and real characters: would recommend a read!

'Kissing Games' is hilariously funny second book of Aurora's kissing (mis) adventures. Now that Hayden and Aurora are a couple it's time for second perfect kiss, but things don't go the way they should and Hayden ends up in a hospital with a split lip which so happens leads to no kissing at all! Aurora's school organizes a camp for its students, which sounds like a perfect kissing opportunity! But will it go according to plan? Will Aurora and Hayden kiss again or maybe according to Aurora's worst fears - Hayden no longer wants to kiss Lethal Lips (aka Aurora)? Full of wit the book seems to be perfect for readers of all ages who appreciate outstanding sense of humour.
