Synopsis.
(Goodreads)
Gemma Mitchell is a normal girl who
somehow gets herself into abnormally embarrassing circumstances. And while she
thinks she's the biggest loser in school because of them, there are a few
people in her life who would disagree. One of those people is her best friend,
Jess Tyler, who is opposite to her in every way. He's popular, good looking,
athletic, and intelligent, and he can't get enough of Gemma. But while Gemma is
dealing with problems like wrong locker combinations and Valentine's Day
dances, Jess is living in a world of serious issues that are foreign to Gemma,
until she realizes that he's holding on to her for dear life.
Humorous and true to life, Second Kiss is an entertaining saga about a boy and girl who find that their lives have a lot more meaning once they have shared them with each other.

REVIEW:
4.5 out of 5 stars
Contains possible spoilers
Gemma Mitchell is a sweet,
14 year-old girl who manages to get herself into embarrassing situations, she
is a bit of a loner with very few school friends but relies on her best friend
since childhood Jess Tyler to always be there for her. Jess is popular, good
looking and absolutely devoted to all things Gemma but she didn’t take much
notice in him as more than a friend until she saw others paying him attention.
Gemma was a sweetheart
although at times quite naïve and totally oblivious to the feelings Jess had
for her and Jess was morally perfect, I adored them together and despite their
ages (almost 15 & 16) I loved their sweet little romance and the friendship
they shared.
Second Kiss is a wonderful story about
personal growth and change, Jess has a hard home life living with an alcoholic
and abusive father and Gemma’s father has his own health problems which puts
strain on the family; I loved the support and friendship shared despite the
emotional journey they were both on.
Second Kiss was such a fun and
entertaining read; I was hooked on every word and couldn’t put it down, it was
amazing. By
the end of the book, I was completely engrossed in each of the main characters
and got to know some of the secondary characters quite well.
Second Kiss by Natalie Palmer is
written beautifully, it is such a captivating read and I would definitely love
to read more by this wonderful author.
