𝙼𝚢 𝚃𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜:
Kiss Now, Lie Later was everything I wanted in a YA forbidden romance. Weston and Maeve completely stole my heart — from their flirty meet-cute at the party to the soft, stolen moments that followed, I was hooked. Set against the backdrop of two rival towns and a deep-rooted football feud, this story is full of tension, first love, family drama, and the kind of emotional rollercoaster that makes you ache in the best way. I loved how the focus stayed on just the two of them — hanging out, bonding, and growing into something deeper. There was so much sweetness in the small gestures and heart in their slow-building intimacy. And when the third act breakup hit? I was genuinely crushed. It’s been a while since I felt that level of heartbreak for a couple, which made the ending even more satisfying. The epilogue gave me everything I needed and more. Add this one to your TBR — it’s got all the magic of young love and then some.
🎧️I enjoyed reading along while listening, and the audio was absolutely fantastic! Amy Melissa Bentley and Alex Kydd really brought all the angst and emotion to life beautifully. It was such a treat to experience!

One boy. One girl. Two feuding towns. MAEVE I’ve heard a lot of things about Weston Cole. He’s popular. Conceited. Obnoxious. Most importantly, he’s spent the past three years steadily dismantling my family’s football legacy. I should hate him. And I did. Until I encountered him freshman year and discovered he’s also troubled. Captivating. Considerate. When our paths cross again senior year, that knowledge becomes even more dangerous than his suggestive smirk. Hating him was easy. Before I met him. WESTON No girl in Glenmont is more untouchable than Maeve Stevens. She lives across enemy lines. Her father is Glenmont’s head football coach. Her twin brother is their quarterback. My latest problem? One conversation with Maeve makes me forget about the decades long rivalry between our two towns. Makes me forget there’s a team of guys relying on me to lead them to victory against our main rival. A few forbidden kisses, and there’s only one thing I want to fight for. Her.
