A bold, inventive, and slyly witty work of debut fiction about life and love in your twenties

When Sylvie moves to New York at the age of twenty-three, all she can think about is kissing. Who is kissing whom, she wonders, and are they doing more than kissing, and when she meets the right guy, is a kiss just a kiss, or could it lead to something more? As Sylvie and her friends navigate the treacherous world of their twenties, more men are added to their kissing lists--the porn star, the pseudo-intellectual, the creepy boss, the animal-rights activist. But which kiss will be the one to ultimately change their lives? With sardonic humor and unexpected emotional force, The Kissing List follows a group of women who take outrageous chances in life and love and merrily defy the expectations of parents and friends--perfectly capturing that harrowing and thrilling decade in life when just about anything seems possible.
