The story and art style are so cute! Teen drama and great characters will draw you in in this first volume. There's lots of humor as you see these teens, perfectly told through the art, navigate love, friendship and life. Having read some of the series before on Webtoon, reading this first volume has made me excited to get back into the series and see where the story and characters go - and who ends up with who like in the best teen romances!

Thank you to WEBTOON Unscrolled and netgalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Volume 1 was a great start! What really drew me in was the art style—it’s unique and full of personality. The characters strike the perfect balance of humor and likability, making it easy to get attached. It was a quick read, but it definitely left me wanting more. I’m excited to see where the story goes from here.

I REALLY enjoyed this one. Despite the lack of communication going on between the MCs, it makes sense, since they are in high school. The drama is silly, but not too OTT for me, which is saying something, as I don't have a high threshold for drama and silly.

This book easily stays on the unannoying side of the fence when it comes to the silly and the drama. It's light, fluffy and funny. About 87% of the way into the book, there is a panel that had me ROLLING. The artwork in this is just amazing with the emotions that are being shown on the characters faces and I am SO into it.

Also, not going to lie, I kind of am shipping Joe and Patrick, lol.

I didn't think I was going to do this, but I will. Writing this review made me re-consider my four stars. I enjoyed the book, and writing about it, THAT much.

5, I am here for this bring on the next volume, stars!

My thanks to NetGalley and Wattpad WEBTOON Unscrolled for an eARC of this book to read and review.

This was so stinking CUTE! I love the drawing style and the FMC is hilarious. I’m looking forward to reading more volumes. If you love rom-com mangas, then you should definitely pick this one up!

I want to start this review by saying, thank you to @Netgalley and @Wattpadbooks for letting me receive the e-arc in exchange for my honest review!

I have been seeing this webtoon series all over the place. I have always been curious about this title.

After seeing this webtoon series on NetGalley, I decided it was the perfect time to finally try it out.

This volume was good. I enjoyed some elements of this and can see some elements that might not be my cup of tea.

I enjoyed the overall color palette and overall character design of this webtoon. I am interested in learning more about these characters.

There are some things that might eventually get on my nerves. The fact that the Female lead keeps taking bets knowing that it is not going to go well gets on my nerves a little. The love triangle could possibly get on my nerves depending on how long she decides to take to pick a guy.

I am unsure of which guy I want to win. I am just not feeling the chemistry of her with any of them.

I am giving this volume a four stars because I think it could have potential. I think that if done right this could be really good. I will probably read more of this on Webtoon and if it gets really good then I might consider getting copies for my shelf.

I think as long as you don't mind a love triangle and a main female lead that takes bets she shouldn't then I think you would probably enjoy this series. If these things aren't your cup of tea then maybe skip this series or try it for free on the Webtoon app before purchasing.

I read this story on WEBTOON about a year ago and I adored it. Publishing it in book form is so exciting and getting to read it updated was so refreshing. A lot of times you don’t see the artist update their drawings, so I’m so happy Ingrid Ochoa did for this publication. She As for the story, I love the dynamic between Sara and Oliver. The slow burn is absolutely amazing and it keeps you on your toes. I am so excited to read the rest of the volumes!!

This one is fun and cute but pretty typical YA fare. The girl is crushing on aboy but will probably end up with his little brother. Seems kinda predictable. But also her BFF secretly likes her. So maybe there might be a twist eventually? But probably not. I'm not sure if I'll come back to this one. But I recommend it if you like cute YA, coming-of-age stories.

I wasn't sure at first, but by the end of volume one I was having a lot of fun and ready to go track down the webtoon option so I could continue the series immediately. It's awkward, quirky, fully of irrational teens being annoyed at each other and crushing on each other causing miscommunications. It reminded me of the sort of overdramatic interactions I'd have with my own friends as a teenager. The artwork is adorable, and it's a very quick read. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for light-hearted but not too-sweet romance and wants to be kept guessing a bit as to who the love interest is.

I love me a fun and engaging romance story, the first volume of Ochoa’s “The Kiss Bet” is one of them!

I thought the book was good. I don’t normally read books that have multiple parts so that’s new for me. I didn’t feel that the main character’s best friend acted like a best friend. I can’t remember their names. He seemed kind of mean at times. I don’t know if I will continue with the series if I can get this series for free I might I don’t normally read anime. I am not sure how to review it. It seems like a good story so if you do read anime, you should check it out.

THIS IS THE CUTEST SERIES EVER. Where was this when I was in high school crushing on my crushes?? I love how their friendship blossoms as they try to deal with all their big emotions and the pressures of high school. This is truly such a cute and wholesome story that still gets deep with real situations kids encounter growing up. I think if you liked Heartstopper, you would like The Kiss Bet Volume One! Can't wait for Volume Two!

The print publication of the popular WebToon THE KISS BET maintains the light-hearted fun of the original story, if losing some of the dramatic pacing. Imagine it's your birthday & your best guy friend dares you to kiss a random boy outside the subway. Things go terribly wrong, and if living with that embarrassment wasn't enough, it turns out mystery subway boy is your new math tutor! This is light-hearted and fun, perfect for teens who want light high school drama. While the romance takes center stage as the story goes on, it doesn't get fully developed in this volume. I wish the editors would have included a little more of the original WebToon to really bring forward the "oh no, I like 3 guys, what do I do?" side of the plot, but there's enough here to get most readers on board.

This is absolutely adorable and wholesome. I great pick me up read! Definitely one to give you all the laughs! Between the comedy and youthful romance you’ll binge this with a sweet beverage and crave more.

I thought it was pretty cute, but the characters are not my style. I think they were acting too childish for me maybe. I would read more in the future though, because I am intrigued.

3.5 Stars

I love the art style and the colors! Cute first volume to this series. It really set the scene for the start of the love triangle. It was a little slow at parts though. I am intrigued to read more and see the relationships develop.

Overall 3.5 stars.

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review from NetGalley.

First off, I love the art style - it's cute. It's definitely on the younger side of young adult based off the way the characters talked and interacted with each other. I feel like this is more of a slow burn progression, and couldn't really get into it.

Such a cute story; I am definitely rooting for Oliver and Sara and can't wait to read more.
Thank you to NetGalley and Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group/WEBTOON Unscrolled for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This was actually pretty cute! It took me forever to finally get to it but glad I did.

Sara is a relatable main lead, feeling the pressure of getting older and wanting to experience things. And when her friend Patrick has a bet, it aligns into a kiss, romance, and heartbreak all in one. It's a coming of age story that I probably would have enjoyed when I was younger, but can still appreciate it's cuteness even older. Overall solid 3/5!

e-ARC from NetGalley.

Sara Lin has never been kissed. When her best friend, Patrick, bets her $50 to ask a random boy on the subway to be her first kiss, she agrees. Only the boy isn't interested, and Sara is so humiliated by the experience that she never wants to think about it again. And then she's assigned a new calculus tutor...

This was just a wholesome, fun time with a decent amount of humor and a lot of heart. Sara is super relatable in a lot of ways - I also found first kisses terrifying and really sucked at calculus - and I laughed every time she referred to her new tutor as "Subwayboy" and tried to wear a disguise for her study sessions.

I can already tell this is going to be a super lovable graphic novel series. Sara and all the other girls in her class like Joe, her new tutor's feelings are unknown, and it turns out "definitely not interested" best friend Patrick doth protest too much.

Looking forward to volume two. #TeamPatrick

Such a cute story! It was a typical high school comic, but I really enjoyed it. I am definitely rooting for Oliver and Sara and can't wait to read more!
