When sixteen year old Poppy Douglas writes a song about her ex-boyfriend Cam and ex-friend Nikki, she has no idea that her heartbreak is about to go global.
A local band picks up her song from Youtube and soon she’s along for the ride with her own fanbase as they blow up on the local club scene and hit the international charts. Though it turns out leaving Cam behind isn’t as easy as she had hoped.
Tangled in a web of unfinished homework, ill-considered sexting and a new lead-singer boyfriend, Poppy has a choice to make between the ex that inspired it all and the rock God whose poster lines the inside of half the lockers at school. But as she struggles to keep her emotional dirty laundry private, she learns that the truth can be hard to find when your life is in the headlines
****************
The Kiss Off is filled with rock
stars,love triangles,a crazy dog and loads of teen angst.
Love triangles can either be really
interesting and a well written one makes the reader invested in the
out come were we actually care who ends up with who. Then there those
cheesy love triangle that are complete cliches you know the ones were
everything seems so obvious and the love triangle falls flat. The
triangle between Poppy,Cam and Ty to me falls in the middle
Kiss Off starts with Poppy writing an
angry song about her ex Cam and ex-friend Nikki little does she
know it's going to be sensation online. Laughs and hilarity ensure
and she meets Ty the front man of a local band who gaining fans and
fame. Suddenly Poppy is no longer broken hearted and dealing with the
drama of dating a rising rock star.
When I first picked up I though it was
going to be completed fluff,I’m not a big fan of fluff but done
right I don't mind some fluff here and there. Well I was right and
wrong it was fluff but not pure fluff. The kiss Off touched on
subjects as sex,alcohol and sexting. Even with these subjects are for
a mature audience the characters sounded young and poppy seemed naive
to me(maybe I’m jaded since most Ya books I read don't seem like
Ya.) All in all the book was a
quick read and I would recommend it to younger readers13 & up or
any one who doesn't mind a fun/fluffy story.
2/5
