An amazing continuation of the Kiss Bet world. I appreciated that this volume dedicated more time to developing the side characters while also staying on course for the main plot of the series. Highly recommend for YA/New Adult readers!

I loved this next installment. Intriguing and fun, im looking forward to continuing the series. Would recommend to anyone looking for a cute romance story.

I absolutely loved the illustrations, absolutely adorable. I think that teens would really love this, although I didn't love how Patrick was treating the FMC. It felt quite, boys who throw rocks at you just like you. However there were really cute parts about it, and the characters seem like they are having some development!

As soon as I finished Volume 1 of the Kiss Bet, I NEEDED Volume 2 immediately. Thank you so much to Netgalley and WEBTOON UNSCROLLED for this E-ARC! I absolutely love love love this art style - It is sooo cute! I think this book is perfect for highschoolers. There's just enough tension to hold their attention, but nothing too inappropriate! I feel like in this volume we got to spend even more time with our side characters and getting to know their personalities.

One Sentence Summary - The second installment of the Kiss Bet raises the stakes even more, when Sara Lin and Patrick bet (again) and the consequences of said actions.

My only complaint is that The Kiss Bet volume 2 is not long enough and ends on yet another cliffhanger!! Oliver might be my favorite character! I would recommend this book to folks who love cutest, teenage love stories, people who don't mind cliffhangers, graphic novel lovers, and girlies who love several adorable male characters!

I'm YELLING over the ending of this one! I could see the conflict from a mile away (Joe liking Sara's cousin Vicky) but what I didn't expect was for Patrick to kiss Sara. I expected Sara to take up Oliver's offer but he was never able to give it!! I want her to end up with Oliver because I think they'd be funny together I feel like Patrick and her don't really fit together. They're good as friends but as partners I don't think they'd work well. His teasing is always grating on her nerves and not in a good way.

This series is adorable! I cannot believe I keep getting sucked into the drama of Sara Lin and her first kiss haha. This volume was so cute and funny and these kids are frustrating, but behaving like kids. I really enjoyed this one, and that ending!!!! I cannot wait for the next volume!!

I love this comic so much, and volume two builds on the characters even more.

We get the history of Sara Lin and Patrick's friendship, Patrick being an idiot, Oliver showing that he can be open and kind, and some surprise revelations from side characters that are going to redirect Sara Lin's path to not only her first kiss, but also finding herself and her happiness.

I know the next volume is going to be a little more angsty, but this one ends on such a fever pitch of different directions I can't wait to read it again.

YES!!!!! y'all this series is so beautiful and cute!

This is a one sitting read! I am swooning and if you have read the first one you get it and need it!

I am reading it with my 16yr old daughter she loves it as well.

4.5-5

it just keeps getting better & better

i love this so much i waited so long for the second volume & it did not disappoint.

the art is just as incredible as i remember, i still love all the characters, & i never know what’s going to happen next. also, THE ENDING??? i wasn’t expecting that. i love both patrick & oliver. even though patrick is kind of sorting through how he feels about sara they have so much history & years or friendship BUT sara & oliver seem to have this slow burn, enemies to lovers thing going on & i’m here for it. also, honourable mention for vicky & joe because they would be such a cute couple.

i definitely can’t wait until volume 3 is out

Continuing from volume 1, my opinions on Joe have completely changed haha. But to the other Yang boy aka Oliver, I’m still rooting for him!!! That cliffhanger has me excited for volume 3 to see how Oliver, Patrick and Sara Lin feel.

In this sophomore entry, Sara Lin who has never been kissed tries to resolve the “kiss bet” issue she had with her former tutor Oliver in the previous graphic novel. Oliver being the brother of Sara’s crush Joe (and the rest of the high school class), makes it even more difficult. Sara’s BFF Patrick, with whom she had the first kiss bet, wagers another kiss bet that she must have her first kiss before the night’s end of the school festival. Sara is banking that it will be with Joe. But will it? With her nemesis and mean girl Rose, the odds are again Sara.

With lots of crushes going on between the characters, this continues to be a light-hearted romantic YA graphic novel without any over-the-top meanness, cursing or vulgarity. It is truly very sweet and cute. I love it as much as Volume One! I cannot wait until the next volume – after all it can’t be left with this cliffhanger.

This was such a cute follow-up to the first installment of the Kiss Bet series! While I had mixed feelings about the first installment because of the lack of consent and oddness of it, I was actually very excited to see if the 2nd installment provided context, and it did! While I personally am not a big fan of miscommunication tropes, this story has made me realize I don't like them when they feel needless. The trope makes sense in this story, so I actually have really enjoyed it. I also really enjoyed the continual introduction of the characters and some more backstory on how they all came to know each other, or their previous interactions. It really drives the story and provides understanding as to how they have the relationships they do. Overall, a very cute story, and I am really excited for the eventual volume 3... I fear I am hooked now!

This graphic novel picks up right where the first one left off, which isn't great if it's been a while since you read #1, but it keeps the story moving. I love the art so much, I just don't feel connected to the story. Might be a"not right now" read but too late for that.

The artwork is adorable the entire time. I’m invested in her relationship with all the possible love interests, and I’m really excited to read more.
I’m loving this series.
Thank you to NetGalley Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

These books are so ridiculous but they’re so cute. The thought of a first kiss, the first love, who likes who, who doesn’t, and all the tastefully ridiculous drama. It’s a type of romance novel, that’s perfect for middle grade and YA and just leaves you wanting the next volume. Sarah is completely ridiculous and very much boy crazy. Subway boy is adorable in his teen angst. Joe is the good-natured best friend that all the girls have a crush on. And Patrick is the class clown who you want to smack but sometimes maybe you want to kiss. All in all this is an ensemble group of characters That bring a ridiculous but fun story to the pages for all readers.

A beautiful and entertaining follow up of the first graphic novel compilation of the Kiss Bet. The art is amazing as usual and the writing and storyline are so cute and wholesome. Definitely a must read for any YA, graphic novel, and/or Webtoon reader!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC.

Years ago I saw the final scene of this book for the first time, how fast time goes. I remember having so much fun reading this as a teenager, but I must admit, I think I passed the target audience. It was adorable, and you do get quite attached to the character, but the drama is something that could only be described as "teenager in highschool" drama, which does not make it less important! or fun! But is a bit less relatable to me now. I fear I have left the good old misunderstanding trope behind, and tend to prefer my lover to be direct about it. Nonetheless, this is a quick and easy read that would brighten a rainy day! Would definitely recommend if you like that genre and are looking for something silly!

(although Olivier was always my favourite I can't lie, I love a grumpy lil guy—that slowly gets win over—as the love interest to a very bubbly girly.)

Publication date: August 5, 2025

I thought this was super cute! It was a fast read and would be perfect for young adults! You most definitely have to read Volume 1 first as both Volume 1 & 2 leave off with cliffhangers! I'm excited to see what the author has in store for Sara Lin in Volume 3!

Thank you NetGalley, Ingrid Ochoa, and Wattpad Webtoon Book Group for an early copy in exchange for a review.

Thank you to Netgalley, Edelweiss and Webtoon Unscrolled for the opportunity to read and review this series.
This is a great continuation to the story, and I love the character dynamics along with the art. Its a comfort read for me because it gives me the feel of a teen drama but in a wholesome way. If you also enjoy wholesome high school romance anime or manga, this story is for you. I would also say if you needed something for middle schoolers to read too that is accessible, this story is for you. 5 out of 5 stars.

I’m loving this series. It’s really light hearted and silly, the artwork is adorable the entire time. I’m invested in her relationship with all the possible love interests, and I’m really excited to read more. This is such a good slice of life love triangle for anyone who just wants something easy to binge that’ll make you smile.
