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.
