There was no character development and the whole thing just.sucked. Don't read it. It was like reading poorly edited fanfiction. First of all, let me say this: I get it. I understand why Elle fell for Noah. The hot bad boy who turned into a romantic guy.

And yeah, maybe I shed a tear while reading the last pages of the book, but it wasn’t the same. The movie gave me chills. Elle was such a naive girl and Noah was so misunderstood. But they were so perfect for each other! At least in the book they were. On screen, Noah was way too tall! And Elle could have been prettier.
Still, the concept, the story: 5 stars! ? My playlist for the book: Benjamin Ingrosso - Dance you off Benjamin Ingrosso - Fall in love Benjamin Ingrosso - Do you think about me Ed Sheeran - Perfect Halsey - Alone Shawn Mendes - Youth Favourite quote: “So this is what love does to people. It really does turn people into saps.” P. Can you imagine that this obssesion with the movie and the book started because I saw the movie trailer 3 days ago on Facebook?!
I haven't actually finished this book, but right now, I'm about to give up on it. Considering it's a Wattpad story, I'm not really surprised.
Don't get me wrong,; for a story originally posted on a site like WattPad, this is good, and I'm not surprised at the number of readers that it has on that site.

I didn't find this story on WattPad; my mom told me about how a 17 year old had gotten a 3-book deal with Random House after the publishing company found her story online. Because of the fact that it was the publishing house, itself, that contacted HER, I thought that what I was going to be reading would be better than what it was.
I'm an avid Twilight fanfic reader, so I know the story of ELL James/50 Shades of Grey/Master of the Universe. IMHO, The Kissing Book is only slightly above FSOG in the quality of writing. Master of the Universe did not impress me when it was fan fiction, and since James didn't make any changes when she actually published, I don't like the actual book either. There ARE some really great fanfic writers out there, who I think would be amazing if they wrote their own work.
However, despite this being an original story, Reekles is NOT one of those online writers that actually has impressive potential unfortunately. Her story is way too cliched. Yes, most YA fiction books that aren't paranormal romances usually do have a major cliche in the plot/storyline; however, the cliche doesn't take up the entire story in YA books that are actually decent and bearable.
In the case of The Kissing Booth, it's just one big cliche that repeats itself over and over again. I mean, all that happens is the following: Lee and Elle hang out Guys flirt with Elle without her realizing it Noah gets possessive and beats someone up; Elle gets mad Noah and Elle fight Noah and Elle make up and then make out That process continually repeats itself over and over again.
There's no change that occurs. The constant whiplash of the two romantic leads was irritating, and for Elle making a huge deal about how she had never kissed a guy before, she sure jumped ship quickly when she slept with Noah after only making out with him once. I mean, really? And then, the next morning, she completely regrets it. I think I've made my point. This book was pretty terrible. For many reasons.
For brevity's sake, I will limit my review to one main reason it was terrible: it was written by a 17 year old girl. The writing was ok (I'm being generous, because she is after all 17.) The main problem is a 17 year old girl can't write realistic fiction realistically. The author writes about exactly the kind of world that a 17 year old THINKS they live in: no rules, no accountability, no consequences.

The world according to Kissing Booth: (warning, the examples are spoilers-ish:) 1.
Noah gets into fights all the time with no consequences. Tell me a high school in the country that does not suspend for fighting. Turns out Noah (who is captain of the football team) suddenly gets accepted to Harvard!
Even though he never seems to study or worry about grades. Parents allow all sorts of things: underage drinking ('Just don't do it again!' ) and hotel rooms after prom when your daughter just turned 16! Elle goes from never kissing a boy to sex with her best friend's brother in no time flat, all with little emotional fall out! Noah, although violent, super controlling, and emotionally manipulative changes!
(I blame Beauty and the Beast for this one. Just be really really nice, and he will come around girls! Love conquers all, especially the love of teenagers!) Obviously, I am not a fan. I would even go as far as to say, I think it's a little irresponsible.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered this was written by a kid.
A 17 year old to be exact and she actually wrote it unlike just slapping her name on it like the trainwreck which was. Hell my nearly 17 year old kid still can’t figure out the difference between there, their and they’re so this little gal gets serious kudos. The story here is simple – girl and boy (Elle and Lee) have been best friends literally since their birth (on the same day, in the same hospital).
They’ve maintained their friendship throughout the years by always following a simple set of rules – the most important being that Elle’s crush on Lee’s brother Noah would remain unrequited for eternity. But when the school carnival rolls around and Elle and Lee find themselves running the most popular booth of all, things start going a little sideways. Which leads to Elle and Noah following the sage advice of one R.
But seriously, they decide to keep it on the down low. What can go wrong, right?
If you grew up on John Hughes movies and are not a member of Generation Butthurt, you might find this enjoyable as well. Or you can make me morph into Mallory Archer and want to scream at you. Because you refuse to stop being obstinate long enough to attempt to understand the points Beth Reekles was trying to get across. Since I don’t words so good, I got what she was putting down just fine and appreciated her efforts of including a character with some anger management issues as well trying as to educate via humor about sexism. I thought this was adorable. 1.5 stars, and that's being generous I had such such high hopes for this, I saw the movie on Netflix, and thought to myself oh maybe this will be a guilty pleasure like The Duff, I literally LOVED that and thought maybe it would be the same for this.
Sadly I was wrong, and I'm feeling pretty disappointed to say the least. Girl is best friend with boy. Boys older brother is a dick. Girl likes the older brother. Older brother is possessive and like to fight. Girl and boy date in secret.

Shit hits the fan. Another plot twist. It's okay again, we can ride off on a bike in the happy sunset (not actually true but you get the meaning.) 1. I don't like the fact that Noah is described to love Violence and that Elle kind of likes it as he wouldn't be him without it. The writing is not the best. I know it was by a young author at the time, but you can tell. No character was likeable.
Don't do this, don't do that. HOW dare you do this. It could of ended at 80% For the first time in my life I can honestly say the film was better than the book, and I've never felt so let down. I can't even do an overall because I just want to spit fire at it and be done, hopefully to anyone else who reads this they may like it more than I did. Pre thoughts So yeah.
Netflix has made me intrigued. Maybe one for audiobook? I've got a feeling it's going to be a guilty pleasure like:):):). This is more of a 3.5 than a 3.
This book was pretty sweet. I'd recommend this book to younger teens. It's the kind of story I would have lapped up when I was thirteen and fourteen, very fluffy and girly. I certainly got exasperated at points. I couldn't understand why she (or anyone!) wanted to be with Noah: he was definitely a bully. Threatening and physically hurting other guys just for talking to her? I beg your pardon?

Read this book for nostalgic feelings of being a teeny-bopper who thinks being 16-18 is the best thing ever.
Nevertheless, I look forward to reading what Beth Reekles' comes up with in the future. The kind of story I would have LOVED when I was a young teen. Drink a cheap and nasty alcopop with this, like a VK or something. Or even some Lambrini. Re-live your under-age-drinking years.
I received a copy of this for free via NetGalley for review purposes. Going to start this review by saying that I did not know of this book's existence until the film on Netflix came out and I became obsessed with the storyline. I have been a Wattpad member since 2012 and never heard of it, and I'm kinda upset I hadn't because it was actually a really interesting book. Though, I enjoyed the film more. I think because the storyline in the movie was more emotional considering it was VERY different than the book.
Though, it did have its similarities.

I think because the storyline in the movie was more emotional considering it was VERY different than the book. Though, it did have its similarities. I found that a few lines between the two were shared, which made me super excited.
But, there were some scenes in the book I would've preferred that it had been in the film, but then there were scenes that were right off the page onto the screen. I think both materials are great on their own. The film has the same characters, same plot line, but a different line-up of events. The book, well, same thing, just some different events, again. I read this novel in one night, and I can honestly say I barely remember most of it once I finished it. Like I remember a few scenes like party scenes and some scenes I remember that were in the movie too, but not much stuck from the book onto my mind. That's mainly why I scored this book a 3.
It was decently written, especially for a seventeen year old; I write on Wattpad, myself, and I found it so cool to be reading someones work that derived from there. But, like I said, it wasn't as memorable as I wanted it to be.
THOUGHTS ON CHARACTERS BELOW UNDER SPOILER TAB. I really LOVED Noah Flynn. I think he was well written, but at the same time, I don't think so. He was very controlling, protective, possessive, and aggressive. In a way, he reminded me of Christian Grey the way he acted towards Elle and others. And yes, he did develop, it wasn't a notable development that awed me, though.
He always seemed to be misunderstood from the beginning, and I think since that was his development (him not being who everyone thinks, kinda) I kind of grasped it from the start, so by the progression, it didn't surprise me when he did other stuff away from the 'cliche' which made it more cliche haha. But I did get annoyed at the fact he smoked like twice in the whole novel, being a bad boy, but like it never came up again. Like usually when someone smokes, they can't like hold it in since it is an addiction but y'know, that was just one inconsistency. I kind of liked Elle, like I felt a connection to her when she would speak, how she would act - I felt like I understood her reasoning for her actions and all. She was a good protagonist. But that's literally all I can say about her.
She was cliche. TOO NICE GOODY 2 SHOES WHO IS NAIVE AND VIRGIN IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY (no first kiss either) AND EVERYONE FLIRTED WITH HER AND LIKED HER BUT SHE FELT LIKE BOYS DIDN'T LIKE HER AND SHE WAS UNDESIRED. This bothered me because like, CMON, we couldn't have made her like NOT be cliche in such a cliche book?
Give it a bit of a twist? Guess not lol. Lee was probably my favourite character of all. He was the most unproblematic, and understanding. He was her best friend and he was every best friend goal in one. He was sweet, helpful and always there for her. Even when he found out she screwed his brother, he was mad for a chapter or two but he forgave her because he understood why she had kept it a secret.
I just was bothered that he was so tough on his brother, but living in the shadow of your hot brother who EVERYONE wants is a crappy situation so I get it, kinda. But anyways, he was the best and I think Elle did not deserve him since she did lie to him about EVERYTHING. I didn't know whether I wanted to date him or be his best friend, but I think I ended up deciding to be his best friend because Noah is my bf and bc Noah was the main love interest, I was drawn to him first xD.
All in all, I personally give this book 3 stars because though it was great and had an intriguing storyline, though I prefer the movie's portrayal because I found even though it was a film, it had more explanation to things than the book - which is like NEVER the case. The movie is very different, but I think I liked the execution of the movie better. This book was a great read for someone who is OBSESSED with the movie as I am, but I don't think it'll really fill your high hopes for the great movie to read the book. I would recommend this book, however, to someone who wants a bad boy romance. But, then again, I'd probably recommend the movie before the book, in this same case scenario. (Disclaimer: I am not a part of the target audience for this book, being decades past my teen-age years.

I will start off by saying kudos to 17-year old Beth Reekles for being able to write a novel, and for being able to reach such a large number of readers on Wattpad.

With that being said, what follows is a short review, because frankly, I feel like I've devoted too much time to this book already just by reading it and actually being able to finish it. Reading this was quite painful for the following reasons: - I didn't like Elle/Shelley AT ALL! I was honestly hoping that Noah would get it together and realize that other girls are way better for him.ANY OTHER GIRL! One who would actually care when he storms out and leaves his house for a few days!!!!!
- The story dragged because of the reason above. I was seriously hoping for another POV just to escape the 'Oh mah gash! Boys like me? Girls are jealous because I can talk to Noah.' Seriously, I would've been happy to read what the school janitor thinks of all these. Noah was smirking soooo much I was afraid his face would stay like that forever.
The only reason I finished it is because I kept hoping and hoping it would get better. And yes.the last chapter made me happy.mwahaha! Hello, Harvard!!!;) PS: Random House, can I get a refund? Well yay, that sucked! Let me go look in the mirror to make sure I didn't pull all my hair out. I'm exaggerating, of course.
It wasn't really bad, I just didn't really like it. It was more or less flat and not too creative. Everything was fine up until the actual kissing booth scene and then everything went steadily downhill from there as I lost my patience little by little. So just a quick overview so you know what I'm talking about: Rochelle is the main character. Her best friend is a boy Well yay, that sucked!

Everything was fine up until the actual kissing booth scene and then everything went steadily downhill from there as I lost my patience little by little.
So just a quick overview so you know what I'm talking about: Rochelle is the main character. Her best friend is a boy named Lee Flynn. His older brother, Noah, is the school bad boy/hottie/player/football player/you've definitely seen him in another book. Noah is tall, has beautiful dark hair, a sexy smirk, and electric blue eyes. Hmmmmm where oh where have I heard that before?? Anyway, Lee and Rochelle, as school council members, need to run a booth for the carnival/festival thing and decide to do a kissing booth. Noah gets in line and the girl at the booth freaked out and made Rochelle take her place, so Rochelle had to kiss Noah.
Her long-ago crush on him resurfaces in full force. And here begins a romance.
Noah and Rochelle begin seeing each other in secret because she doesn't want to ruin her relationship with Lee. One week after her FIRST kiss, which was at the kissing booth with Noah, she gives her virginity to Noah.
That's not even the main thing I had the issue with. Noah is so controlling! He's very protective of Rochelle and yells at and fights boys who flirt with her, ask her out, harass her.etc. Some of those cases.
Fine But others? And whenever Rochelle yells at him about it, he argues back that guys are jerks and don't have good intentions (save for him, of course). You don't even want to know how many times this scene played out. They had this Same. Sooooo many times I almost thought my kindle spazzed and rewinded! And that made the book seem so ridiculously long! I just couldn't wait for it to be over!!
That being said, I loved Rochelle's relationship with Lee, and Lee's relationship with Rachel (no not Rochelle. Rachel, his girlfriend.
A totally different person). Rochelle and Noah's relationship was meh. No chemistry and after two months they were already throwing around I love you's. I was looking for a cute chick lit that would make me swoon. Sadly, such was not the case here. I read this a few months ago, when it was already completed.
Therefore, I didn't have to endure the suffering of waiting for the author to update. Wattpad has offered me a lot of stories to read; in fact, some of those I've read have been published. I'm surprised to find The Kissing Booth on Goodreads (I'm not sure why), but it's here and I'm giving it 5 bright stars.

Emotional fangirl: I don't know how I stumbled upon Wattpad, but I sure am glad I did. The Kissing Booth was one of the first few stories I've read. It has got me through a lot of emotions that I fell in love with it. Elle and Noah (Flynn)'s story just draws you to it - to read more, to want more, to fall in love, to get hurt, to ask for more, and leaves you wondering. Even if I'm not a fan of such 'endings' because I have a penchant for assurance, I don't care this time.
Technical reviewer: One reason why I pursued reading the stories posted by 'Reekles' is because she edits her work. She edits it well.
This isn't just about getting to post a story and having many people view/read it. The formatting is very clean - with correct punctuation marks, margins, capitalization, quotations, and other stuff. The grammar was checked, too. It was as if you were reading an e-book bought from Amazon or Barnes and Noble. Reekles took the job seriously and it paid off big time!
Not a lot of writers on Wattpad are like her. There are some who also practice the potence of proofreading, but it just so happens that Reekles knows how to get to the hearts of young teens and hopeless romantics looking for a great read. With the undying emergence of young adult fiction, I think we can expect a lot more from this writer, right here. If you ship Elle and Lee or just want more of them together but still thinks Elle and Noah is the one true pairing, I recommend you read The Beach House, a novella by Reekles. ONLY if you have read The Kissing Booth, otherwise, it will not spare you some details.
I really did find this a fast, sweet romance. What kind of made me only give it 3 stars was how young the MC, Elle, was, and how she was doing things no 16 year old should. She was at parties until 2 in the morning, drinking, jumping up on tables and dancing in front of intoxicated boys, and having sex. Dude, I'm 17, and I can't imagine myself doing any of those things anytime soon. And her father apparantly had no problem with all that she was doing, even sending her with alcohol when she is un I really did find this a fast, sweet romance.

Dude, I'm 17, and I can't imagine myself doing any of those things anytime soon. And her father apparantly had no problem with all that she was doing, even sending her with alcohol when she is underaged and he knows a bunch of idiotic teenage boys will be there and attempt to still her innocence. Great parenting ya idiot.
Another was the love interest, Noah. He's suppose to be this super bad boy who gets in fights, had anger issues, and apparantly is a man-whore.
Yet, he's suppose to have perfect grades, be accepted into Harvard, and be secretly sweet and cute? This types of traits were just too contrasting and greatly weakened his character in my opinion.
Not to mention that his actions made me swear that it would turn into an abusive relationship. He gets furious if another guy so much as touches her, he tells her she has to change her clothes if he finds it too revealing, and he pretty much grabbed, pulled, and dragged her every chance he got. I took a health class, and those are all signs of an abusive relationship!
I pretty much ended up hating Noah because of that, and I was so relieved when in the end he seemed to stop all of this and became more sweet and gentle. My favorite thing about the entire book though? I swear, that boy is hilarious! And he is by far the best guy friend in existence. The scenes with him were probably my favorite, and I was soo hoping by some twist Elle would end up with him, even if it was the cliche of best friends falling for each other. If it weren't for Lee, I might've hated this book, but he was the cherry on the top!:).
Reading all the other reviews for this book I am quite shocked as to wonder why people have rated it so poorly. The Kissing Booth was an easy read novel which I easily finished in a day. It is about a 16 year old girl named Rochelle, she also goes by the name Elle or Shelly. Rochelle & her best friend Lee have to come up with an idea for their booth for the carnival at school.

After a lot of thinking they finally come up with the idea of creating a Kissing Booth. Lee has an older brother named Noah, who is the typical hot jock / bad boy.
Since Lee & Rochelle have been family friends since they were young Rochelle has grown close to Noah since shes sees him all the time. But when it comes to boys Noah is VERY over protective of Rochelle/Elle. Elle finally convinces Noah to swing by the kissing booth at the carnival but when her friend tricks her into taking her shift she ends up kissing Noah. No, sorry not kiss but make out!!
Feelings start to stir as Elle starts to wonder what the kiss meant or if it had meant anything at all.Spoilers. Elle ends up taking a ride with Noah that afternoon since Lee is too busy with his new girlfriend. When they get to Noah's house one thing leads to another & Elle & him are making out in the kitchen which leads to the bedroom. Before things can get out of hand Elle stops Noah, because she knows he is known for being a player. Elle & Noah decide to continue the 'relationship' (if you can call it that) without letting Lee, her best friend, know.
READ TO FIND OUT MORE Its a great summer romance novel if you are into teen romance. Its an easy read & had a good story line to it! Reading this book was a great way to pass the time. I was instantly struck by how young sixteen-year-old Elle was during her drunken state at the party, she was so intoxicated that she almost skinny dipped in front of everyone. I checked to see where the writer was born and discovered that Reekles was British, so that explained everything!
I felt the novel had British written characters living in America. That probably explains why I connected with them so easily as I could recognise their actions through my own school experiences.

That probably explains why I connected with them so easily as I could recognise their actions through my own school experiences. I really liked Elle’s friendship with Lee, having grown up doing everything together it has lead to Ella never having a boyfriend and has never been kissed. This explains why her first kiss was so impactful to her. Lee’s older brother Noah is the guy that stops Ella making a fool of herself at the party, deemed the school badass I honestly think that he has Ella’s best interests at heart.
The problem is by being so overprotective of her, he’s actions can seem a little controlling. During the carnival Ella and Lee help run the Kissing Booth, when she kisses Noah it triggers a world wind romance between the pair.
I always felt this was inevitable as she had previously had a crush on him, whilst Noah has always been protective of her. It was a fast easy read, I mainly read this as was curious to watch the Netflix adaptation afterwards. It certainly evokes the feel of a teenager falling in love for the first time, I really enjoyed it. 3 stars The Kissing Booth is an enjoyable lighthearted YA romance.
Elle and Lee have been besties forever, but can their relationship survive Elle falling for Lee’s brother, Noah. This is one where the movie is definitely better than the book.

After reading fantasy I usually try to switch it up a bit and read something cute and fluffy and this was definitely NOT it. Im not gonna tell you what the book is about, read the synopsis, but what I can tell you is that it absolutely SUCKED.

It was romantic af but also pretty down to earth about relationships (like not just romantic relationships) and I loved it.
